There have been quite a few submissions on this topic. The biggest one is:
216M Spy TVs – The LG Smart TV Problem [video] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49592375 - Sept 2026 (971 comments so far)
(Normally we'd merge this one thither but it's already so big maybe we'll just treat it as a follow-up)
The weird thing is that this pretty huge story has essentially zero visibility to the public until now since it's only been covered in tech media. I wonder how long it'll take for general-public media to wake up to it to warn the masses?
