Here's what caught our attention: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking major TV makers to court. We're talking Sony, Samsung, LG, Hisense, and TCL—all of them facing lawsuits over the same accusation: secretly harvesting user data without permission. And here's the kicker—they're allegedly turning around and selling that harvested data to advertisers. This isn't just about sneaky software updates. The lawsuits paint a picture of systematic data collection happening right inside people's living rooms. No opt-in, no transparency, just harvesting. It's exactly the kind of privacy violation that fuels conversations around data ownership in Web3 communities—a reminder why decentralized solutions matter.

Someone should have taken care of these TV manufacturers long ago; there are damn eavesdroppers installed in the living room.

Whoa, even the TVs are starting to steal data? That's why Web3 must be decentralized.

Now it's all good, even the TV at home has become a data broker. Truly amazing.
