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."

Because this is a shakedown, its has NOTHING to do with actually stopping the ACR privacy invasion. At no point will Texas actually do anything to stop the issue. They simple telling those companies to pay them off.
