It’s weird that this is the takeaway from that investigation that big media is pushing.
This is maliciously burying the headline that LG TVS ARE TRANSCRIBING EVERY WORD THEY HEAR IN YOUR HOUSE AND THEY’RE UPLOADING A TEXT LOG OF IT.
Depending on the TOS details, that may very well be a legit crime. Even in 1-party consent states this wouldn’t slide because LG isn’t a participant in the conversations it’s recording, and not everyone talking near a TV has agreed to the TOS.
And even with generous TOS, there’s gonna be legal issues. HIPAA, for instance, could really fuck them if the TVs are in a medical facility and are recording and transmitting private medical data without consent of the patients.
It is undeniably a crime. But in Glorious Free Republican America large corporations are exempt from the law.

Fucking hell we have two of these at home.

Fuck buying an LG Tv lmao
Its all of them. The only tvs that aren’t doing this are dumb ones. The reason why they’re so cheap is that they are selling data. Its been this way for years.
Go to any mid sized or larger company and run a port scan and you’ll be immediately found and taken to the woodshed or fired.
But I guess doing it unannounced in peoples home is just fine.What about the larger companies with LG tvs in their offices?
They probably buy commercial/display TVs which don’t have that garbage.
I wonder if I could desolder the WiFi chip
Someone at LG needs an ass whooping
No. They need life in prison. Hundreds of them.
Por que no los dos?
God damn LG is really flaming all the way down to the ground aren’t they. Greed will make you do crazy shit.
My dad’s HP laptop started tripping a Honeypot on my network, now I gotta worry about LG as well…
I need to learn how to do this
They used to have good TVs :( It’s a good thing I stay away from Smart TVs in general.
Exactly, I’m very disappointed. I bought and LG OLED in 2019, loved it for the image quality and smooth UI. It’s time for an upgrade soon, and I was thinking LG, but will probably have to go diff direction.
I found it to be a struggle to find a non-smart TV that was decent…
It time to mine more value out of customer.
