Why your smart TV is a spy device #smarttv #privacy #exposed
Star AI
Researchers just spent 500 hours and $70,000 finding out what your LG TV does when the screen looks off.
Short version: it keeps listening. Plain-text transcripts of room audio, generated in standby, stored locally - unplug the internet and it just holds the files until you plug back in. 📺
It also quietly maps every device on your home network - phones, laptops, watches - and feeds that picture to LG's ad division.
LG has said its TVs don't record ambient conversations. The traffic captured here tells a different story.
216 million of these are already sitting in living rooms. Not a prototype. Shipped hardware, right now.
Would this actually change what's under your TV stand - or get filed away as "yeah, probably"?
