An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

Shareholders must be held responsible individually

So, are you personally on the hook here because the company managing your pension fund is holding stocks in LG? Because that technically makes you a shareholder as it was bought with your money, right?

Edit: not sure why I get downvoted, this is a legitimate concern/nuance to the debate. The managing company doesn't own these stocks so they're not the shareholders, that's the people whose money they are managing, but these people are not directly in control of the funds. Who is the liable party in this?

The highest level employee/officer who had knowledge of it should be held responsible

The fact that a pension fund can hold shareholds is crazy by itself, also, is the pension found a company or managed by your state? It shouldn't really be a thing in first place

is the pension fund a company or managed by your state?

Both in my case, as there are both the government pension fund that is mandatory and the one used by my employer which uses one of the large primary pension institutions in my country.

Is it a bit weird that I don't just manage all my pensions myself? Yes, a bit. But it's how its done in my country and it has some tax benefits compared to getting the money in hand and investing myself.

Naah, at least, i don't know anyone that does it in my country

It doesn't matter how many layers of evasion there are. Responsibility has to be with individuals in order for there to be change.
