    Remember ye old life-hack that you can use earbuds as a microphone in a pinch?

    Speakers and microphones are conceptually the same technology. If your tv can play sound then in theory it can be used by a malicious hacker or company to record sound.

        I hope not.

        I think i can still trust my devices to not be actively listening trough every hole. I can, right?

            And it isn’t even just LG. This is a problem for any brand of modern TV with ACR. Even then, internet connected TVs don’t need ACR to be spying on you in other ways.
