	tl;dr: Summary not available
	HN Discussion: ↑The problem is worse than described, with malware-like software gaining full system access automatically ↑Microsoft/Windows bears primary blame for allowing automatic installation via Windows Update •Practical workarounds exist via Group Policy or Device Installation Settings ↑Privacy laws and regulation are needed to stop this kind of anti-consumer behavior ↑Personal boycotts and blacklisting of LG are the only consumer recourse available
