Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed lawsuits against Sony, Samsung, LG, Hisense, and TCL Technology Group Corporation due to concerns their smart televisions are “secretly recording” users’ screen activities, including security cam footage and personal photos, the attorney general’s office said in a statement on Dec. 15.

The lawsuits, filed in five different Texas district courts, are about the use of automatic content recognition (ACR) technology in television sets.
