Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a suit on Monday against Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, and Hisense, claiming in a press release that they "have been unlawfully collecting personal data through Automated Content Recognition (“ACR”) technology.”
Paxton goes on to label ACR as “an uninvited, invisible digital invader,” and in one of the five separately filed suits, he calls Samsung TVs “a mass surveillance system.”
Because the people making these claims have an extremely consistent record of siding with rich donors instead of their citizens. They lie have a consistent track record of being caught lying. Trust is earned, and Ken Paxton has consistently done the opposite of that.
