LG #SmartTVs als "#Spionagegeräte", die mit #ACR-Funktionen die Geräteumgebung erfassen und aufzeichnen. Hinzukommen Sicherheitslücken, die Angreifer zur Überwachung und Kompromittierung weitere Geräte nutzen können, lautet der Vorwurf des YouTube-Kanals #GamersNexus

Oh, look, another tech bro trying to "stick it to the man" by rooting their TV and acting surprised when their credit card details end up on the internet 🌐🙄. I mean, who wouldn't want to turn their living room into a personal surveillance state? 📺🔍 Kudos to #GamersNexus for "discovering" that TVs with ads might be a tad invasive 😱👏.

Can you hear your neighbour's LG TV? Because it can hear you.

If the microphone is "off," you have to be closer - but they can still do it.

It's all demonstrated in the documentary. They do this _on camera_.

So "don't plug it in hur hur" doesn't work. It only cuts out one node of _tens of millions_.

This isn't a problem that can be solved by being smarter than everyone else, because even if you _are_ smarter than everyone else, you're still smarter than _everyone else_, and _they're_ all plugging _their_ sets into the network. That is, after all, most likely _why_ they bought a smart TV. To do exactly that.

Like it or not, this requires _collective_ action.

I'm getting too many "hur hur hur don't plug it into the network" responses that miss the point.

That's fine for your set.

It's not fine for all the other tens of millions of sets around you, _which also listen to you_.

These sets spy on every network they can sense, wifi and LAN, including yours to one degree or another if you live next door. They build profiles and geolocate, even if you never owned one, even if you never shared a network with one.

And if you _did_ share a network with one of these sets, they have IDed every network device you have and started building profiles around them.

This is the big LG television surveillance documentary story GN have been working on for a couple of months, and that they previewed a few days ago.

The complete pervasiveness of spying upon not just you and what you watch but _every person and every device around every set_ is genuinely staggering. And it gets worse if you use their apps, particularly the LG TV "network":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA

Having an old set DOES NOT HELP YOU; they've been adding these spying functions in firmware updates.

So DO NOT BUY ANYTHING LG. Certainly not anything "smart."

They've included a number of clips of people from LG saying "We own the glass".

If that's the case, them fuckers can give me back the £800 I paid for mine.

I'm going to say what an old folk told me when I bought a #Razer:

«You're going to regret it later»

I did. Razer Naga Epic Chroma. No Synapse support even being one of the most priciest and useful mouse from Razer. Never again.
