The TV world has been a pot of controversy thanks to a two-hour-and-15-minute video from Gamers Nexus claiming LG TVs are nefariously spying on everything you do.

    Damn man, how many times do I have to repeat myself? I am not apologizing for the actions of the corporations, not saying this shouldn’t go to court.

          I don’t think you are an enemy. I think you are making it too easy for yourself by dismissing that the vast majority of people do not have your skills.

          I feel that out of your privilege of knowing tech, you are discarding the actually pressing social issues here.
