Television is dead: LG hammers the final nail in the coffin of privacy

The provided text is primarily an article by Enrique Dans criticizing LG's smart televisions for their privacy-invasive features, specifically their plan to analyze users' emotions for targeted advertising through a partnership with Zenapse. Dans argues that this technology, along with confusing interfaces and intrusive advertising, ruins the traditional, private television experience. User comments largely corroborate these negative experiences, with many detailing frustrations about privacy policies, unwanted content, and a general shift towards prioritizing manufacturer agendas over user satisfaction. Several commenters express a preference for simpler "dumb" TVs or external devices to bypass these issues, reflecting a broader dissatisfaction with the current state of smart television technology and its impact on user privacy. The discussion highlights the tension between technological capabilities and ethical implementation, suggesting a growing consumer weariness regarding data collection and intrusive advertising practices in connected devices.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Television is dead: LG hammers the final nail in the coffin of privacy«
