When your monitor becomes a Trojan horse for data collection. The punchline here is the brilliant double meaning of "monitor" - both as the display hardware you just bought AND as surveillance software. LG literally installed software on their smart monitors that collected viewing data and sent it back to their servers, even when users opted out. So instead of just tracking users through a website like a normal dystopian tech company, they went full galaxy brain and embedded the spyware directly into the physical monitor itself. Why collect data remotely when you can make the user pay $500 to install your data collection device on their desk? That's some next-level product management right there.
