Samsung reached a settlement with the Texas Attorney General over allegations that its smart TVs used Automated Content Recognition (ACR) to capture and process viewers' data without express consent; the agreement requires Samsung to halt ACR collection/processing in Texas without express consent, update privacy disclosures and consent screens, and push updates to smart TVs, while Samsung maintains it did not violate regulations but agreed to enhance privacy notices.
