"All of the big TV makers" except Vizio which is owned by Walmart, of course, who happens to do ACR and ad targeting:
> In August 2015, Vizio acquired Cognitive Media Networks, Inc, a provider of automatic content recognition (ACR). Cognitive Media Networks was subsequently renamed Inscape Data. Inscape functioned as an independent entity until the end of 2020, when it was combined with Vizio Ads and SmartCast; the three divisions combining to operate as a single unit.[1]

- babypuncher 10mo agoWell it wouldn't be Texas if there wasn't some grotesque corruption involved. Vizio is the absolute worst of the TV manufacturers when it comes to this shit, so now it's clear Texas is really just trying to bully Walmart's competition rather than do something positive for consumers.
- sailfast 10mo agoThat does tell me why Paxton brought this suit. Either that or somebody is trying to blackmail him over something he watched.

- estimator7292 10mo agoSure but won't this case set precedent that all manufacturers are bound to by law? If this case succeeds, suing Visio on the same charges would be a cakewalk.
- cryptonym 10mo agoIf the lawsuit goes forward, it'll be really easy to force the same on Vizio.
