VIZIO agreed to pay $2.2 million to the FTC and the State of New Jersey to settle allegations that it used automated content recognition to collect and share viewing histories from about 11 million smart TVs without obtaining users' consent; the settlement requires prominent disclosure and affirmative consent for data collection. The report also notes broader smart-TV security and privacy concerns, and references an instance of ransomware on an LG smart TV as an example of emerging risks.
