LG Smart TVs have come under fire for forcing users to keep Copilot, a pre-installed web app that cannot be deleted. This has sparked outrage among customers who feel their privacy is being violated.
According to reports, LG has disabled the ability to delete the Copilot app, despite multiple attempts by users to remove it. The app reportedly collects data on users' viewing habits, browsing history, and even personal information.
The issue was first brought to light by Mashable, who discovered the restrictions placed by LG on their smart TVs. This has raised concerns about privacy and data security, especially as more people rely on smart devices in their homes.
A solution proposed by Microsoft to remove the Copilot app using keyboard shortcuts was also recently blocked by LG. This has only fueled the frustration of users who feel trapped by the presence of the app on their TVs.
LG has yet to respond to the backlash, leaving many customers questioning the company's commitment to protecting their privacy. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how LG will address the growing concerns surrounding their smart TVs.
