Who decides what's true and what's false? Who gets to hold who "accountable", and what does that look like? How does that look any different than punishing someone for speech you don't like?

Some of y'all need more than a surface understanding of the 1st amendment, with a focus on how it came about in the first place.

After the monitor adware debacle (which I experienced), I am disinclined to trust them on this.

I own 2 LG monitors and 2 LG Smart TVs, but next time, I'll be looking elsewhere.

I like my LG stuff. I'll just keep the TVs not connected to the internet, and behind AppleTVs. And, as an added bonus, I don't get LG's commercials.
Now if Apple starts doing shady shit like this I'll be truly screwed, but we're not there. Yet.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a drop in replacement for smart TVs, but you can get most of the way there regardless.

I don't trust any smartTV providers. LG may be the target of this story, but I'm sure all of them are guilty of this to various degrees.

As technology improves, the customer experience gets worse.

It's been that way for at least 15 years, probably longer. It's the weirdest damn thing to watch; we have all this power and sophistication, but development houses can't seem to get out of their own way and make a product that doesn't A) Suck balls, and B) gets worse with each iteration.

MS is the most famous example of this, but they're hardly alone in this practice.

More accurate to say the bill of rights prohibits the government ( largely ) from certain actions.

Taking this a step further, who enforces "human rights" in dealing with businesses and citizens, if not the government? Who's to say that's a good thing anyway. Why can't I restrict access to me and mine from someone saying things I don't agree with? That's if you believe your "human rights" are equally and fairly applied, of course, which we all know they aren't.

No, the only sane approach to something like freedom of speech is to restrict the government and otherwise let people do as they will.

Submission + - The Most Controversial Firefox Bug (mozilla.org)

BrendaEM writes: Mozilla/Firefox claims to honor and protect privacy, yet it collects data by default. Perhaps it's better than the rest, but with data collection on after installation, Firefox claims of privacy don't ring quite true.
