The Sean Hannity Show23 Des 2025

Is Your TV Spying On You?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins Rose Tennent for the final hour as "The Sean Hannity Show" shifts gears from the day's headlines into a deep dive on something sitting in millions of living rooms: smart TVs and what they may be doing behind the scenes.

Paxton lays out Texas' lawsuits against major smart TV manufacturers, alleging they've been collecting detailed viewing data on Texans and monetizing it without clear, meaningful consent. He describes an ecosystem where TVs can be sold cheaply because, in his telling, companies earn enormous revenue from marketing based on viewer behavior. Rose presses on the real-world problem for consumers: most people don't even know there's anything to opt out of, and even if they do, the process can be confusing and hard to execute.

The conversation turns more serious as Rose cites warnings from Paxton's office about the possibility of sensitive information being exposed, especially as more people use TV apps to log into accounts and even handle financial transactions. Paxton says discovery is still ahead, but argues manufacturers may be capturing far more than viewers realize.

Then comes the national-security angle: Rose notes that at least one named company is Chinese-owned. Paxton says any unauthorized data collection is concerning, but adds that Chinese possession of that kind of information raises the stakes beyond consumer privacy. He also says Texas is sharing resources with other state attorneys general and hopes more states will join the fight.
