Just want to emphasise.
LG 'smart' TVs listened to you, recorded, copied and sent audio from your TV -> while the TV was off.Not even pretending the massive worldwide surveillance was about ads or watching habits.
LG "Smart" TVs have been, are, sending your conversations to corporate offices, even when TV is off.
First, disconnect your smart TV from Ethernet. Block it's IP in your router if its WiFi.
You can search for how's. Readers feel free to add advice.

Zusammenfassung der Praktiken des TV-Herstellers LG:
"Smart TVs sind ja ein "heißes" Eisen, wenn es um Bloatware und ungewollte Funktionen geht. Am Artikelende sind einige Beiträge der letzten Zeit über den Themenkomplex zu finden. Und der koreanische Hersteller LG ist immer dabei, wenn es darum geht, negativ aufzufallen. Jetzt kommt der nächste Hammer."

A new report reveals that LG’s smart TVs are collecting a lot of user data, even when they’re not connected to the Internet https://www.thurrott.com/smart-tech/341385/lg-smart-tvs-are-reportedly-harvesting-a-lot-of-user-data #lg #smarttv #privacy #technology

das in Kombination mit Adguard Home / Phiole / Fritzbox Werbefilter (noch Beta exklusiv) würde diese sicherer machen.
ich würde prinzipiell auch Android TV Boxen sicherheitshalber ähnlich behandeln.
es gibt auch für Smart TV's und andere Geräte spezialisierte Filter Listen, natürlich kann man auch einfach die oisd big Filter Liste nehmen, da sollten die drin sein.
Anlass ist mal wieder ein Bericht über LG Smart TV

Smart-tv's van LG blijken gebruikers af te kunnen luisteren, zelfs als de tv op stand-by staat. Ook als de internetverbinding verbroken is, blijft de tv spioneren om, zodra er weer verbinding is de verzamelde data naar de commerciële afdeling van de fabrikant te sturen.

Wäre es möglich die Empfehlungsecke Smart TV um die Erklärung zu ergänzen, wie man mit hardgecodete DNS Server in diesen umgeht?man kann in der Fritzbox über die Kindersicherung entweder den Smart TV nur Surfen als Netzwerk Anwendung erlauben oder Zugriff auf DNS Server verbieten (Port 53 +853 + url Google & Cloudflare DNS)

"LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices"
👎️ 👎️
-
After hearing about LG's snooping around practices and non consensual audio recording it was time for drastic measurements. ❌

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.

RE: https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/117230619653386536
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":

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."

Bei solchen Fällen frage ich mich unweigerlich: Wieso wird sowas nicht von @bfdi untersucht? Dürfen solche Geräte in Deutschland überhaupt verkauft werden in dieser Form?
Ein Fernseher, der selbst im ausgeschalteten Zustand und ohne Netzwerkverbindung über Mikrophon Audio aufzeichnet dürfte in den seltensten Fällen auf "informed consent" also eine informierte Zustimmung des Nutzenden zurückzuführen sein.

Holy heck. Dunno if this is true, but if so...
"...An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet..."
