Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a suit on Monday against Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, and Hisense, claiming in a press release that they "have been unlawfully collecting personal data through Automated Content Recognition ("ACR”) technology."

Paxton goes on to label ACR as "an uninvited, invisible digital invader," and in one of the five separately filed suits, he calls Samsung TVs "a mass surveillance system."

It is, but it goes straight to my Graymail folder. Probably because ,y employer is concerned for what I might read in it. Thanks!

Edit: well it seems Epic is another “woke” company. I hate this timeline.
