Researchers spent 500 hours and $70,000 and found LG TVs logging plain text transcripts in standby, mapping every device in the house, and feeding it to LG's ad arm
Unplug the internet and it saves the files until you plug back in.
LG says its TVs don't record ambient conversations.
The evidence begs to differ.
216 million of these are sitting in living rooms.
Where are the regulators?

Dear friends, the Indian government is unleashing its highest regulatory bodies through the National Council for Indian Systems of Medicine to shut me up and prevent me from educating the public on harms of alternative medicine and unscientific and pseudoscientific healthcare practices through social media.
Please read this and let me know your thoughts? I'm gearing up.
The Constitution of India allows me to uphold public health and healthcare education.
"The Indian Constitution recognizes the importance of scientific temper through Article 51A(h), which states that it is the fundamental duty of every citizen to develop scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform. This provision highlights the need for a rational and inquisitive mindset, encouraging citizens to embrace science and critical thinking."

I disagree. Criticism from customers should be accepted and worked upon, no matter how hard the team is working.
And ‘Freeloader’ seems to suggest that he took some paid services but didn’t pay. If the company didn’t want him to use without paying, they could have put a paywall.

During the same period, we have seen DoT's efforts for Mobile Aadhaar Linkage citing a Non existing Court Order. Mobiles almost became a more used identifier for UPI Apps, We also saw efforts for Aadhaar Bank linkage, which is declared as unconstitutional by SC

There was huge opposition to Google Pay (Tez)'s effort to map aadhaar numbers to google handle as per their TnC. In the launch event of Tez, they promised they won't support the Pay by Aadhaar feature. It also accelerated retiring Aadhaar from UPI tech.hindustantimes.com/tech…

UPI always had dreams about linking with Aadhaar from initial Spec. UPI had something called AadhaarPay to pay to an aadhaar at NPCI handle in past, which got discontinued sometime after my र1 deposit to @rssharma3

This functionally violates Puttaswamy II verdict on Bank account Aadhaar Linkage.

Anyone knows if forced "Saving" of CC information to opt in to RBI norms is allowed and legal as per RBI's regulations? Isn't it supposed to be optional and opt-in and not opt-out? Ola cabs forcibly save card info and convert to the new RBI mandate without any opt out!
