I put Vizio on my no-buy list back in 2015, when they were caught spying on their customers and colluding with advertisers to even more intrusively track them on other devices they owned (link). I pretty much just forget them after that... I mean, consumers rarely see anything resembling justice these days, so why cause myself heartburn, right?
Well, I just happened to stumble across a new article today... looks like a judge is going to make Vizio post a pop-up notification on all the affected Vizio TVs, informing their owners about the spying and instructing them on how to get on board with a class-action lawsuit. Mind you, it's not perfect, class-action lawsuits tending to be both slow and mainly a means of enriching the lawyers, from what I've seen... but it tickles me to see a misbehaving company forced to let their customers know, in a hard-to-ignore way, that they've been had. Should be fun to see what happens with Vizio hereafter.
