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.”

    Rare Ken Paxton win.

      Ken Paxton saying or doing something reasonable and/or beneficial is more like finding a random page torn out from a page-a-day calendar and having it be the right day and date but from a different year
