LG to Ban Residential Proxies from Smart TV Apps
LG Electronics announced plans to suspend smart TV apps that include residential proxy software development kits after research found over 42 percent of apps in its webOS store contained such components. The company is requiring developers to remove proxy functionality or face app suspension, citing that residential proxy networks are not an intended use for smart TVs. Bright Data, a major residential proxy provider, accounts for most of the proxy SDKs found across LG and Samsung smart TV apps.
Why it matters: TV owners should audit their installed apps for proxy functionality, as these SDKs allow third parties to route traffic through their devices without meaningful consent; app developers monetizing through proxies must comply with LG's removal mandate or lose distribution.
