I wonder if the following scenario ever occurred inside LG when they were designing this spyware.

1. Teenagers exist

2. Teenagers hook up with other teenagers

3. Sometimes that might happen on the couch in front of the TV

If that TV records and transmits anything, who is on the hook for production and distribution of illicit materials? The parents? The kids? Or LG?

PR/legal wise this might be the worst case scenario and might even get some of those legislators and law enforcement people interested.

4. Wait for anyone to come knocking regarding illegal spying.

5. Discover there is absolutely zero enforcement if you are govt. intertwined oligarchy owned conglomerate.

6. Sell collected data (akshully it will be synthetic data "of course", wink-wink) to a legal front to a Nexus darknet laundromat. Also known as "identity verification provider or other somesuch.

7. Insurance companies legally partner with a different legal Nexus front corpo, which will ingest stolen data and make it "sythetic data" again, wink-wink; then provide it to the insurance corpos.

8. Insurance is opaquely "adjusted" to those same teenagers.

9. Profit :)

And, of course, sell it to the Epstein class behind closed doors for undisclosed kickbacks and favouritism.
