An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

    EU lobbies won’t ever allow it.

    In the later years the EU regulations have been massively disappointing. Only favouring big EU companies and destroying little businesses and the european consumers.

    Some disappointing eu regulations:

    • The cookiesgate. Your data is still going around everywhere. You just have a pop up everywhere that means nothing.

    • ¿Replaceable batteries on smartphones? No, only for cheap chinese phones if so. The big players can pay for some european certification on the quality of their batteries and doesn’t need to be replaceable.

    • ¿Stop killing games? Hahahaha don’t ever think about it.

    • You are buying too much, we need you poorer. So we put up a 3€ tariffs per category product on chinese stores so you are forced to buy the exact same product to an european retailer at twice the price.

    • We heard you like the environment, what about a new complicated tax on packaging so all small business cannot function and only big business are allowed to send products within the european union.

    I think the days of the EU legislation saving the day are far off.

      That charge is not just on Chinese stores. I manufacture my own product in the usa through a factory i own and get hit with those fucking charges.

      Then I’ve got to pay for all this cardboard and plastic but OH LOOK there’s a minimum fee so I’m subsidizing larger businesses or Europeans in general. AND I need to pay for a European contact to do it! Fuck yourselves for that one.

      Eu regulation is hostile to small business and they will be left with nothing but major shitty international corps at this rate.
