bump for interest
>>729169603is this actually real though or is this Ken Paxton just being a retarded schizo boomer as usual
>>729170071Sam Raimi’s Spiderman, the McDonalds TV, repeated cases of doxxing their own customers, killing basically all their IPs, and you still question it everytime Sony pulls shit like this?
>>729170274i don't question it because it's Sony i question it because Ken Paxton is a fucking retard and GOPboomers screech "CCP! CCP!" like seals when they have no other leg to stand on. is one of Trump's jewish owners about to launch a new TV company or something?
>>729169603>paxtongrifter/scammer
>>729169603It's fucking wild how much "gamers" shit and pissed their pants over a camera on xbox that you could cover and never released but clapped and cummed in their pants when sony is putting an always on nsa spy mic in the ps5 controller.
Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed suit against five major television companies for spying on Texans by secretly recording what consumers watch in their own homes. The five major corporations being sued are as follows: Sony, Samsung, LG, as well as Hisense and TCL Technology Group Corporation (“TCL”), which are both based in China. These Chinese ties pose serious concerns about consumer data harvesting and are exacerbated by China’s National Security Law, which gives its government the capability to get its hands on U.S. consumer data. These companies have been unlawfully collecting personal data through Automated Content Recognition (“ACR”) technology. ACR in its simplest terms is an uninvited, invisible digital invader. This software can capture screenshots of a user’s television display every 500 milliseconds, monitor viewing activity in real time, and transmit that information back to the company without the user’s knowledge or consent. The companies then sell that consumer information to target ads across platforms for a profit. This technology puts users’ privacy and sensitive information, such as passwords, bank information, and other personal information at risk.“Companies, especially those connected to the Chinese Communist Party, have no business illegally recording Americans’ devices inside their own homes,” said Attorney General Paxton. “This conduct is invasive, deceptive, and unlawful. The fundamental right to privacy will be protected in Texas because owning a television does not mean surrendering your personal information to Big Tech or foreign adversaries.”Attorney General Paxton remains committed to holding corporations accountable for deceptive, abusive, or exploitative practices. The Office of the Attorney General recognizes the ongoing threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party to the safety, data security, and personal privacy of Texans, and will continue to aggressively investigate and stop any company that puts consumers at risk.
>>729170479a camera is obvious. a mic listening is not
>WE'RE the only ones who should get to spy on our citizens!
>>729170071 Real enough to get headlines, but whether it holds any legal water is another story. Paxton loves to slap lawsuits on stuff that makes him look like he's fighting the good fight, then quietly backs off when it gets to court. That said, the China's-tied-to-tech narrative isn't entirely baseless, it's just been turned into a clown show by every boomer trying to stay relevant. Wouldn’t be shocked if it’s just pre-election chest beating or some lobbyist stunt to help one of his own financial backers enter the market.
>>729170479Wow people had more of a problem with something that takes 3D scans of your room fucking constantly while it's on and caches it than a controller with a microphone in it?CUHRAZY.The Kinect also had a mic too, dumbass
>>729170631>Paxton loves to slap lawsuits on stuff that makes him look like he's fighting the good fight, then quietly backs off when it gets to courtexactly why i asked, he pulls stunts like this all the time
>>729170580>muh CPPSo another win for Sony kekThe raped tendie is now spamming random non vidya slop as long as it mentions Sony, he will never recover from pocketpair eviscerating Jewtendo in court.
that new ps handheld is going to have a camera
>>729169603You can opt out of the "Samba" ACR but it's still fucked up and I don't trust them that this really does anything. I just assume anything displayed on my Sony TV is available to the CIA if they really want to see it.https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/how-to-disable-acr-on-your-tv/Best practice would be to never hook up your smart TV to Wifi and hook up some external HDMI receiver to stream Jellyfin and other content off.Death to all capitalists.
>>729170876So obsessed with Sony but you mention Zelda and Sony...
>>729171040I mean the problem is the intentional weaponization, there's no reason to completely neuter a TV unless you agree to data collection, and even then opting out of the data collection isn't even a guarantee that they aren't still monitoring you unless you can be bothered to intentionally run tests for it which logistically speaking people can't actually do.This is actually a problem that should be solved by governments as rare as that is.
>buy tv>always rip out the coaxial and wifi chipworks for me
>>729170876>he will never recover from pocketpair eviscerating Jewtendo in court.two more week fellow sony xister
>>729170071>he thinks it's a mere coincidence that Sony moved their HQ to the USA
>>729169603EVERY SINGLE SMART DEVICE IS SPYING ON CONSUMERS
>>729173116China wants to nuke Japan and I sincerely hope they do, no more pedos screeching about nds and magazines.
>>729170601uh yes
>the macaco is here and sperging out again
can you even buy a flat tv that's not a """smart""" one?I'm still opening the tv, removing the microphone and covering the camera with tape, fucking hell nigga
>>729170580>Companies, especially those connected to the Chinese Communist Party, have no business illegally recording Americans’ devices inside their own homes,” said Attorney General Paxton. “This conduct is invasive, deceptive, and unlawful. The fundamental right to privacy will be protected in Texasmeanwhile they just made loli illegal
>the pedo is crying because his shit threads keep flopping Kek, Sony owns Zelda you gigantic pedo!
>>729176892are there really tv's that come with cameras? i have only used 3 different tv's my whole life. each at least 10 years apart of age
>>729170479Switch 2 is probably the same thing
>>729174808>>729176930You lost so hard Eric
>>729176930True
I have a 10 year old dynex TV that doesn't have a single smart feature in it. Bought it from Best Buy in 2015, hasn't failed me since, and I'm gonna keep it until it literally dies.
>>729170580>The companies then sell that consumer information to target ads across platforms for a profitI never in the history of my internet life got a personalized add, like I watch tons and tons of camping, fishing, TCG, cooking and never get adds about that, I always get videos about shampoo or face cream for women and I don't share my account with anybody, so what's the deal with that?
>>729170274ThisIf someone makes a crazy allegation against Sony I believe it by default
>>729169603What’s wrong with Sony being worried about their customers
And why, pray tell, would a son of adam or daughter of eve connect a tv to the internet to begin with, perchance?
>>729178560you should believe all crazy allegations against every powerful entity and person. the world is so hilariously fucked up and depraved.
>>729170071All he does is jingle keys for MAGA causes because he wants to run for the Senate
>>729176892Yeah, you just have to go out of your way to find one. All of the ones with """""smart""""" shit in them are usually cheaper due to being subsidized by the government for more spying.
>>729170479Unplug your internet, nigga.
>>729179602Back the fuck off thoughbeit????
>>729174808China is culturally soulless to its core. The rest of the world is never going to love it like they do the japs or even korea.
>>729174808>no more pedos screeching about nds and magazines.
I hate ((((smart)))) appliances so much it's unreal
>>729181010he had only one save slot.
>>729176905Your point? Lolifags should be rounded up along with futafags, cuckfags, furfags, trapfags, and troons
>>729178552Me neither, but that's because I've been using an ad blocker/sponsor blocker for like a decade now. I used to have 4chins whitelisted until hiroshimoot went full retard with the ads, so now even here is blocked.
>>729181010I wonder what the women who sent him love letters look like. I've always been curious about the types that are attracted to someone like this guy
>>729178552they know balance of your account and know that you stink and are ugly
>>729170764No he doesn't. >>>/pol/ 4U bitch
>>729182636My point is that the Texas government and Ken Paxton do not give a shit about "the fundamental right to privacy"
>>729179825Well, I don't believe the crazy allegations against MJ.
>>729183150"Fuck them kids."-MJ
>>729170274You forgot how PSN's security is still a joke.https://insider-gaming.com/playstation-network-hacking-incident-reveals-major-security-flaw/
>>729170479>when sony is putting an always on nsa spy mic in the ps5 controller.You can mute it. Do you imply that the controller sends any audio data while being muted? Do you have any evidence of that? You can mute the mic, you can set it up to be muted on startup, you can disable voice commands, you can opt out of sending your samples if want to use the voice commands for some reason but don't want to share your data. >a camera is obvious. a mic listening is notthe problem as always is that they don't make sending your audio samples disabled by default. You should be able to agree to share it if you want to. Not to look for shit to disable to just to privately use the shit you've paid for.
Sorry OP, you should have put "Nintendo" in your post to activate the snoy fanboys and bots. Its a rug sweep
>>729183150nah man it's all true, just don't think about the fact that it all came out shortly after he started speaking out about what evil cunts record labels are
>meanwhile Microshit rolls out AI that will scan your entire computer every millisecond and upload all your asshole pics directly to Bill Gate's phone and that's just fine
>>729169603Fucking finally. This will lead to suing all these cocksuckers who censor chat. Now any idiot will be able to sue Blizzard with simple precedent.20 years from now we could have online communities again.

I see tendies still haven't recovered from the Crimson Collective gaping...
Avoid Sony at all costs. Been through a few of their headphones and it's clear they intentionally make cheap shit that breaks so you will buy more.
>>729183839it happened again? How many times is that now...
>>729186831Seems to be a monthly occurence at the very leastBeing able to steal someone's account over the phone was reported on back in October, and it seems like there's no-one at Sony who gives enough fucks to do anything about it
>>729169603Shame, I like their phones for their ability to install Lineage/SailfishOS
