I ran Wireshark to capture traffic from my LG C5 and the only “scanning” it did was SSDP. Did they post any written article with further information on what it’s doing? Most if not all of what was detailed in the video can be opted out of;

Why should we have to opt out of our devices spying on our LAN?

I love how this is showing you an ad for a LG tv at the end of the article. Priceless.

thecybersecguru.com/…/lg-smart-tv-spying-investig… There are roughly 216 million LG smart TVs in homes, hospitals, offices, and hotels worldwide. Each one maps its local network, fingerprints its content, and logs audio, on or off, whether you’re talking to it or to someone else, whether you’re online or not, and feeds that into an ad engine that sells access to your living room. They do a lot more than just scan the network.
