feels like you can’t even exist anymore without all your data getting leaked by someone who aggressively must consume as much of it as possible.

Hulu you can say, “well at least I can pirate and avoid giving my info up.” But what can you do against things like when Equifax was hacked?

There needs to be real privacy reform and real data privacy laws in the USA. bullshit ass second-tier country

Remember that forced arbitration clause that was in the news last month?

Right after they made you sign a thing saying you can’t sue them lol

At this point, why even consider getting a Roku?

Note, I rarely, if ever, use a TV anymore, so smart TVs have never appealed to me. But Roku seems to be very anti consumer (between the forced arbitration and their ad policy), so I don’t understand why someone looking to get a smart TV would actually want a Roku over an alternative.

Maybe I’m just poorly informed, but it just seems like almost anything else should be a better option?

I use VLC and an HDMI cable…fuck services from any company. They are all untrust worthy and don’t give a damn about you or their product provided you see ads and they sell your information.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Streaming giant Roku has confirmed a second security incident in as many months, with hackers this time able to compromise more than half a million Roku user accounts.

In a statement Friday, the company said about 576,000 user accounts were accessed using a technique known as credential stuffing, where malicious hackers use usernames and passwords stolen from other data breaches and reuse the logins on other sites.

Roku said in fewer than 400 account breaches, the malicious hackers made fraudulent purchases of Roku hardware and streaming subscriptions using the payment data stored in those users’ accounts.

Roku said it refunded customers affected by the account intrusions.

Following the security incidents, Roku said it rolled out two-factor authentication to users.

Two-factor authentication prevents credential stuffing attacks by adding an additional layer of security to online accounts.

Aw, right when everyone was starting to like you guys so much, too. Bummer!

I’ll put $10 on whatever org hacked them did it because theyre trying to put ads in HDMI lol.

We all fucking knew it!!!

That’s why these mother fuckers forced that agreement a month ago
