> is there any company caught “tracking audio with microphones”?
replyI think it's become an internet meme because it's hard for the average person to understand the more creepy thing that's happening. All the data points being captured as one goes around the internet allows rich profiles to be built without something as complicated as recording and transcribing audio.
LG TVs transcribe conversations you’re having in the room and store them locally. While they haven’t been caught sending that data anywhere AFAIK, there are known vulnerabilities that lets attackers read these transcriptions.
replyGamers Nexus had a viral video about them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA
From what I understood, the TV doesn’t actually do that. It can do that when hacked, but that something else entirely.
replyIt does do it but LG claim that it is only used to identify activation words for voice control. It has nothing to do with being 'hacked'.
