Vizio agrees to pay $2.2 million to settle FTC’s television-spying case - The Washington Post

'The Federal Trade Commission said Monday that Vizio used 11 million televisions to spy on its customers. '

'According to the lawsuit, Vizio was literally watching its watchers — capturing “second-by-second information” about what people viewed on its smart TVs. '

'Vizio also is accused of linking the demographic information — including users’ sex, age and income — to the data and selling it to firms that do targeted advertising. '

'That included data from cable, broadband, set-top boxes, over-the-air broadcasts, DVDs and streaming devices. '

'Tyson said in the filing that it is cooperating with the SEC. Chief executive Tom Hayes declined to comment further but said Tyson wants to defend itself in court. '
