GN's vid it was excellent, but it could be a little difficult for some laypeople to follow. Also, it's quite long if you haven't seen it.

The accusations of spying aren't solely against LG. They also make a very important point that smart devices are often compromised. LG just has the capability to spy on you whenever they want; that doesn't mean that they're the only ones who do it. So even if their policies have safeguards, and even if they try to argue for limited and constrained use; the other important problem is that they aren't the only ones who can use it. So can bat man.

This is why this feels a bit disingenuous to me, because while it's certainly implied that what they're doing is super creepy —and I think the vast majority of normal people would agree— I think that they're trying to mislead people into thinking that some of the demonstrations, which were what you could do with access to it, were intended to show what LG was doing opposed to what an adversary could do.
