tl;dr: LG will suspend webOS smart TV apps that embed residential proxy SDKs, following research from Spur showing 42% of LG apps and 25% of Samsung Tizen apps quietly turn TVs into proxy nodes for third-party traffic. Bright Data accounted for most of the SDKs found and defends its opt-in model, but Spur argues buried consent prompts in TV apps don't provide meaningful transparency, especially when minors may click through them.
