We recently blacklisted some of the IP’s that our LG tv was sending data to. I can’t believe the sheer number of requests logged in just 1 week! And what’s worse is LG is even denying it now

    Chromecast doesn’t have a microphone so isn’t listening to your conversations.

    But sure, get a cheap PC from Craigslist and use that.

      It’s funny that you’re only concerned with that aspect of the LG. The request that this guy’s talking about for the most part are not going to be microphone recordings or anything like that. It’s literally just fetching ads back and forth if you look at the actual pages that it’s trying to grab. And that’s exactly what Chromecast and pretty much any of the other streaming services are doing is driving ads and fetching them back and forth.
