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.

That charge is not just on Chinese stores. I manufacture my own product in the usa through a factory i own and get hit with those fucking charges.

Then I’ve got to pay for all this cardboard and plastic but OH LOOK there’s a minimum fee so I’m subsidizing larger businesses or Europeans in general. AND I need to pay for a European contact to do it! Fuck yourselves for that one.

Eu regulation is hostile to small business and they will be left with nothing but major shitty international corps at this rate.
