LG strongly rejected allegations that 216 million of its TVs spy on users and record audio. An online investigation detailed tracking and snooping capabilities, but the company called the claims 'not true.'
An online investigation detailed tracking and snooping capabilities affecting 216 million LG devices, claiming the TVs record audio and track user behavior. LG flatly rejected the allegations as "not true" without providing technical specifics about how its devices actually work.
The denial is categorical rather than technical—LG didn't explain what the investigation got wrong, just said it's wrong. That leaves the investigation's specifics unaddressed. The scale (216 million devices) suggests this isn't fringe concern; it's potentially affecting a significant portion of LG's global customer base. The company's response doesn't resolve whether the capabilities exist, just asserts they don't.
