La Smart TV del living a partir de hoy empezó a mandar propaganda encima de la salida HDMI1 que es la salida de una Mini PC que usamos con Plex... Denme un momento para procesar esto sin agarrar la TV a hachazos en este mismo momento. Por favor diganme que hay una solucion porque no voy a poder lidiar con esto y el apagón analógico en la misma semana #android #google #larecalcadaconchadetumadre #tv #yameiba #smarttv #enshittification #mierdificacion

Researchers found LG Smart TVs repeatedly scanning home networks for nearby devices, collecting details such as names, MAC addresses, IPs and signal strength. The investigation also highlighted ACR tracking and potential microphone-abuse risks after compromise. 📺🔍 https://cyberinsider.com/lg-smart-tvs-found-scanning-home-networks-for-nearby-devices/ #Cybersecurity #Privacy #SmartTV #Security #Surveillance

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." #LG #surveillance #spying #evesdropping #CorporateSurveillance #SmartTV #DoNotBuy #television #electronics #HomeElectronics #journalism #news #GamersNexus

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..." https://www.notebookcheck.net/LG-smart-TVs-caught-logging-audio-with-screen-off-and-snooping-on-local-devices.1391214.0.html #privacy #smarttv

"Spur argues the problem is not that residential proxy networks exist, but rather that they are being embedded at scale in devices that most consumers do not think of as computers and are not equipped to audit. “A one-time consent prompt buried in a TV app is not a substitute for meaningful transparency, ongoing control, and platform oversight,” Spur’s Trevor Sutter wrote. “The risk is amplified when consent comes from individuals within the household who use the device but shouldn’t give consent, such as minors.” LG’s announcement that it is culling residential proxy SDKs from its app store is welcome news, but the company recently came under fire for another questionable partnership: Pimping McAfee security products via software drivers included in its high-end LCD monitors. Earlier this week, the Youtube channel Gamers Nexus showed that certain LG LCD monitors will automatically install an app that promotes paid McAfee antivirus subscriptions, and that the app arrives through Windows Update without an approval prompt." https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/07/lg-to-ban-residential-proxies-from-smart-tv-apps/ #CyberSecurity #LG #ResidentialProxies #SmartTV

Researchers found residential proxy SDKs in 2,058 LG webOS and Samsung Tizen smart TV apps, allowing many devices to share internet connections through proxy networks. 📺 The findings raise privacy and security concerns, as internet-connected TVs can run background activity for years with little user visibility or control. 🔒 🔗 https://cyberinsider.com/50-of-lg-and-samsung-smart-tv-apps-embed-residential-proxies/ #TechNews #LG #Samsung #TV #Television #Streaming #SmartTV #Privacy #Security #webOS #Tizen #CyberSecurity #Technology #DigitalRights #FOSS #IoT

Replying to
Most modern TVs use a technology called ACR — Automatic Content Recognition. The TV periodically takes "snapshots" of whatever is on screen and checks them against a database. That's how the manufacturer knows exactly what you're watching: live channels, streaming services, console games, and even videos played from a USB stick. That data (supposedly "anonymized") is then handed over to advertisers to target you with scary accuracy — including on your other devices. #privacy #smarttv

LG verbannt Proxy-Apps von seinen Smart-TVs Insgesamt untersuchten die Analysten über 6.000 Apps beider Hersteller – bei mehr als 2.000 davon wurde die IP-Adresse der Nutzer weitergegeben. Kaum jemand hat ein klares Verständnis davon, was die Freigabe der eigenen IP-Adresse tatsächlich bedeutet – unabhängig vom verwendeten Gerät. https://www.all-about-security.de/lg-verbannt-proxy-apps-von-seinen-smart-tvs/ #smarttv #apps #proxyapp

New, exclusive, by me: LG to Ban Residential Proxy Providers from Smart TV Apps The home appliance giant LG Electronics USA said this week it plans to suspend any apps built for its smart TVs that turn one’s television into an always-on residential proxy node. The move comes less than a month after researchers found that more than 42 percent of games and other apps available for download on LG’s webOS store allow unknown third-parties to route their Internet traffic through a user’s TV. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/07/lg-to-ban-residential-proxies-from-smart-tv-apps/ #smarttv #lg #residentialproxies #spur #security

📺 Samsung just settled Texas's smart TV surveillance lawsuit — the first major TV maker to do so. What they agreed to: stop collecting viewing data without explicit consent & rewrite confusing privacy screens. But: Sony, LG, Hisense & TCL are STILL fighting. And 2026 TV models track you MORE accurately than before.
