I’m very glad that I’ve never given my LG tv access to the internet and I certainly don’t intend to now.
I am not saying the following happens, i think there is no proof it happens, but its technically doable.
They are capable of scanning for local networks and bluetooth devices which can be used to identify a location. (This part they definitely do)
If your neighbour has an lg tv, or the presence of the tv is extracted through your phone. Then they know where it is and they also know of any open/public wifi networks around.
The researchers from gamers nexus can connect to 2 (ssid) networks at once for some reason.
In theory a neighbours lg tv could
broadcast their wifi credentials to your tv toconnect to upload the data.
In Canada: Unauthorized interception of private communications by a non-participant is an indictable offence under s.184(1), carrying up to 5 years in prison.
LG should face legal consequences.

install custom roms on your phones and avoid proprietary apps. just saying.
My lg TV will never connect to the Internet again after switching to using a Linux box on HDMI. So it can listen all it wants but that data is going nowhere
None of my lg oled’s are connected to the internet, instead i use old raspberry pi’s to run nuvio, tivimate, and jellyfin. They are showing their age however, and I can’t justify the price of new ones. Is there a lineage os for any of these mainstream android boxes? Like the Walmart branded ones (Onn)?
