Talk about a grotesque invasion of privacy:

"Smart TVs from Samsung and LG take screenshots of what you are watching even when you are using them to display images from a connected laptop or video game console"

How can this possibly be legal?

Here's why: Congress isn't just indifferent to your privacy. It is actively complicit with big corporations -- and law enforcement -- in embedding surveillance into everything we do.

@dangillmor FTC went after Vizio for this very thing back in 2017. Do not connect smart TV to any network. And from experience don't even do it for minutes to allow firmware upgrades. In my case it only diminished usability.
@mdb @dangillmor my #LG OLED used to show previews of whatever you selected on the home screen. Then I allowed it to update "WebOS". Now it shows ads instead.
