tl;dr: Summary not available
HN Discussion:
  • Users who preemptively disabled network access on their LG TVs feel vindicated by the report
  • The contractual terms and consent requirements imposed by LG are outrageous and possibly illegal under wiretap laws
  • Simple network disconnection is insufficient; drastic hardware measures are needed to truly stop the spying
  • ~Ironic that a story criticizing data collection appears on ad-laden sites with their own tracking partners
  • The industry trend of smart devices spying on users is escalating and manufacturers should face consequences
