The TV world has been a pot of controversy thanks to a two-hour-and-15-minute video from Gamers Nexus claiming LG TVs are nefariously spying on everything you do. They can record and store audio even when they seem to be off, track everything you watch, and could even be hacked remotely and turned into covert surveillance […]

Dude, I am not justifying the corporations actions. I am saying you could fix it.

I am not going against a lawsuit or a boycott. I am saying: it can be fixed.

I don't see how we are at odds, as I was only bringing up a solution to your concern.

Why must text conversation be so damned tedious? I am a person, just like you.

    I am continuing because you don't seem to realize that the vast majority of the population has neither the knowledge nor the technical expertise to prevent being the target of a surveillance campaign inside their own 4 walls - or the conference room at work, or their doctors practice.

    You shouldn't have to be technically inclined to make sure that the devices that you spent a lot of money for don't spy on you

    Damn man, how many times do I have to repeat myself? I am not apologizing for the actions of the corporations, not saying this shouldn't go to court.

    But that fucking doesn't help or change anything, and you don't seem to understand that your personal aptitude does not scale well on a societal level.

    It would if people asked me how to do it for the model.

    You can go before the court and leave me alone. I am willing to help people for free. You are simply harrassing me, who is not responsible for the damn product, that wants to educate the public how to take matters into their own hands.

    But stfu, I am not your enemy. This is just absurd.
