LG Says We're Fake News [video]
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
LG called Gamers Nexus's investigation of LG TV data harvesting 'fake news.'
Gamers Nexus released a follow-up video responding to LG's corporate denial of their earlier investigation into LG Smart TV ACR data harvesting, microphones, and security vulnerabilities. The video features chapters covering dark patterns, LG's security claims, and the 'we own the glass' policy. LG's response is described as manipulative and gaslighting, with Gamers Nexus dismantling it point by point. The channel urges viewers to boycott LG devices due to the company's audacity in denying the documented spyware and wiretapping concerns.
What commenters are saying
Commenters overwhelmingly condemn LG's response as gaslighting and vow to never buy LG products again. Top comments mock LG's 'we've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoings' approach and highlight the absurdity of claiming to 'own the glass' in customers' homes. Several note the original video title was changed (likely for A/B testing), which some see as eroding trust. A recurring point: if LG collects data in the EU, it likely faces different legal constraints. The thread reflects deep frustration with corporate surveillance and EULA abuse.
