Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a suit on Monday against Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, and Hisense, claiming in a press release that they "have been unlawfully collecting personal data through Automated Content Recognition (“ACR”) technology.” Paxton goes on to label ACR as “an uninvited, invisible digital invader,” and in one of the five separately filed suits, he calls Samsung TVs “a mass surveillance system.”

Because the likely outcome will be a shady backroom business deal where they take a cut or just a payoff and you’ll never hear about it again. It’s Texas.

No. The likely outcome is this. I’m going to use fake numbers for the sake of demonstrating a concept. Samsung spies on you. From the data, they can harvest $500 million dollars throughout Texas tv watchers sending info back to South Korea. Texas says “Hey! Whoa! You can’t do that! You better stop or we’ll fine you $20,000 dollars!” Samsung says “Ok”, and keeps doing it. Pays the fine, and takes it to court. They lose the case, but cost Texas $15,000 of court costs just to win. Then they keep doing it. Now Texas thinks twice about charging the fee, because last time they only got $5,000 after defending themselves in court. Meanwhile Samsung just views it as the cost of doing business. And carries on.
