The Texas Attorney General sued five major television manufacturers, accusing them of illegally collecting their users’ data by secretly recording what they watch using Automated Content Recognition (ACR) technology.
The lawsuits target Sony, Samsung, LG, and China-based companies Hisense and TCL Technology Group Corporation. Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office also highlighted “serious concerns” about the two Chinese companies being required to follow China’s National Security Law, which could give the Chinese government access to U.S. consumers’ data.
So to be clear, this is the right thing for the wrong reason. If Westinghouse still made TVs and they were doing this too, I would bet a year’s salary that they wouldn’t be included in the suit (as long as they were shoving their data in a US data center).
Well good on you Texas for taking the initiative.

Oh absolutely. This seems very “country” dependent.
Still a right thing to do.
