An investigation revealed that South Korean brand LG televisions record ambient sound even when the screen is off. This audio data collection occurs even when the devices are not connected to the home network.
The televisions subsequently send the collected sound data to LG's servers. The operation of the recording system is not entirely clear, but it suggests that the devices maintain active functionalities even in standby mode.
LG did not immediately comment on the situation after the investigation was published. This case raises questions about user privacy and the transparency of data collection practices by electronic device manufacturers.
