Do you have an LG TV? You may have been listening to your conversations without knowing

SAPO9 September 2026 at 12:21

The YouTube channel Gamers Nexus discovered that some LG internet-connected televisions can collect home network information and capture audio even when the screen is off, all without the users' knowledge. The collected data is subsequently sent to LG's advertising division.

This situation affects owners of LG televisions that are connected to the internet. The company collects this information through the voice recognition features present in the devices.

The discovery raises questions about user privacy, who may have been monitored in their own homes without knowing. The case was exposed by the Gamers Nexus channel, specialized in technology and hardware analysis.

Australians 'escape' the algorithm: Government wants to force social media to allow users to disable suggested content

This measure comes two years after Australia limited social media access for minors under 18, and is part of a broader strategy to hold digital platforms accountable for dangerous and violent content. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese argued that people should have the right to choose how they navigate social media, without interference from algorithms that direct content.
