tl;dr: LG will suspend webOS smart TV apps that embed residential proxy SDKs, which turn televisions into always-on proxy nodes for paying third parties. The move follows Spur research showing over 42% of LG apps and 25% of Samsung Tizen apps included such SDKs—mostly from Bright Data—bundled into games, screensavers, and utilities. Spur argues buried consent prompts aren't sufficient oversight, particularly when household minors may unknowingly agree.
