LG Denies Its TVs Are Spying on You (Unless You Opted In)

What did they specifically mean by “opt-in” ? Does simply purchasing the hardware mean you opted in?

I have an LG tv. They ask you to sign a EULA any time the voice command button is pressed on the remote. I hit it by accident sometimes and reject the terms

It’s so fucking annoying how often they ask to spy on you. Very much a dark pattern. Pretty shitty of them. Made me buy an Apple TV so I don’t ever have to use their remote and risk their bullshit.

I will never buy another LG product. Which is sad, because the panel is very nice.

Yeah I’m waiting for the Apple TV refresh for the same reason

…and you guys don’t think apple is doing the same shit? Get a spectre. Dumb tv all the way.
