LG TV may have recorded conversations even with the screen off

LG TVs may have recorded conversations even when the screen was off, according to reports about a privacy issue associated with the South Korean brand's devices.

This issue raises significant concerns about the collection of personal data by electronic devices connected to the internet, particularly smart TVs that frequently include microphones for voice commands.

LG is one of the world's leading TV manufacturers and its most recent models include artificial intelligence and voice recognition features, which require access to the device's microphone.

This type of incident highlights the debates surrounding user privacy and the need for greater transparency from technology manufacturers regarding how data is collected and stored.
