LG pushed back against claims made by Gamers Nexus, Level1Techs, and independent security researchers that its smart TVs log and upload user data without adequate disclosure. The company said its TVs 'do not continuously record or transmit users' conversations' and that wake-word detection functions as advertised, characterizing the coverage as based on misconceptions. The dispute highlights ongoing concerns about privacy practices in connected home devices, as security researchers argue that data collection practices in smart TVs remain opaque to consumers. LG's statement did not fully address all the specific findings raised by the researchers, leaving questions about the scope of data collection unresolved.
