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.”

      Yup. He just sued the EPIC medical record company this past week or so claiming they are a monopoly. Took me 5 minutes to figure out he’s just mad Epic allows their hospital clients to restrict parents from accessing some of their kids medical information once they’re past the age of 12. I don’t think I have to spell out what he doesn’t want kids to be able to hide from their parents. It’s disgusting. There’s always an ulterior motive with this fuck

        Source? I’m interested as I work closely with Epic. They have a monopoly but whether they are being anti-competitive is the question.

            It is, but it goes straight to my Graymail folder. Probably because ,y employer is concerned for what I might read in it. Thanks!

            Edit: well it seems Epic is another “woke” company. I hate this timeline.
