Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And was debunked then as being bullshit. Numerous other people posted the logs of their machines on the network and no one even came close to these numbers. Ffs, that kind of data usage would imply VIDEO STREAMING. You're not getting that amount from usage/diagnostic data. And I love people saying "oh well it's audio recording you" with zero proof, let alone that none of these machines are even voice activated(themselves, not referring to using it with Alexa/Google home, in which case the thing recording you isn't Samsung).
It's just fear mongering with no proof because it aligns with things we've seen before and want to believe is true.
