Depending on the TOS details, that may very well be a legit crime. Even in 1-party consent states this wouldn’t slide because LG isn’t a participant in the conversations it’s recording, and not everyone talking near a TV has agreed to the TOS.
And even with generous TOS, there’s gonna be legal issues. HIPAA, for instance, could really fuck them if the TVs are in a medical facility and are recording and transmitting private medical data without consent of the patients.
I think the HIPAA stuff specifically could fuck them HARD. That can be more easily pursued civily. Criminal Courts don’t mean much to companies because they have to pay a minor fine and it goes away, because criminal courts don’t seek relief or compensation. Civil courts are where corporations can get gigafucked.

It is undeniably a crime. But in Glorious Free Republican America large corporations are exempt from the law.
