Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a suit on Monday against Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, and Hisense, claiming in a press release that they "have been unlawfully collecting personal data through Automated Content Recognition (“ACR”) technology.”
Paxton goes on to label ACR as “an uninvited, invisible digital invader,” and in one of the five separately filed suits, he calls Samsung TVs “a mass surveillance system.”
5 quick bribes later:
Ken Paxton and Governor Greg Abbott announce new initiative to forcibly ensure working ACR in all Texans’ TVs and reporting where they’ve directed, “to protect children from harmful content”
Hmm yes you see we’ve realised that in order to prosecute the microscopic fraction of people who might be inexplicably watching CSAM on their smart TV, we need to spy on every single person on the planet.
And since we have that data anyway,we’re gonna monetize the ever loving fuck out of it.
most pedophiles arnt watching csam on tv anyways, its on thier PCs or whatever they can use as a burner.
