Research found that a large portion of smart TV apps—over 42% on LG webOS and more than 25% on Samsung Tizen—embed residential proxy SDKs that can convert consumer TVs into always-on proxy nodes rented to third parties; LG announced it will work with developers to remove the functionality and suspend apps that do not comply, citing privacy and abuse risks.
