CHAPTER 8: Internet Law, Social Media, and Privacy Should smart-TV manufacturers collect consumer-use data? Any device connected to the Internet is capable of transmitting a multitude of information about not only the device, but also its use. Using integrated software, cte cob or pt.... th sin morals 217 smart TVs allow consumers to access the Internet and on-demand services, including Hulu, Netflix, group, v and Pandora. One manufacturer, Los Angeles-based Vizio, Inc., preinstalls such software, or it is installed through software updates. That software uses automatic content recognition to collect and report customers' content-viewing histories. Such histories are associated with each customer's digital identity, including an IP address, a zip code, a region, and language settings. This information is transmitted to Vizio's data service platform and then sold to advertisers. Advertisers can then specifically target advertising to Vizio smart TVs and to any computers, tablets, or smartphones connected to the same network. A number of purchasers of Vizio's smart TVs filed a class-action suit against the company for, at a minimum, violating the Video Privacy Protection Act.22 In response, Vizio issued the following . to permit statement: "Nonpersonal identifiable information may be shared with select partners .. these companies to make, for example, better-informed decisions regarding content production, programming, and advertising." Certainly, the plaintiffs in the numerous lawsuits against Vizio are not satisfied with that reasoning. They do not believe that Vizio's marketing or privacy policies clearly stated that their viewing information was going to be collected and then sold to advertisers. Is it ethical for Vizio to do this? Does it matter that purchasers of Vizio's smart TVs can buy them at relatively low prices because the company is able to profit from selling consumer-viewing data to advertisers?
