A screenshot of a Reddit post from r/LegalAdviceUK by user Fun-Blueberry-2147. The post describes that the user’s sister, who has schizophrenia, admitted herself to the hospital after believing someone was communicating with her through her smart fridge, which turned out to be an LED screen advertisement. The post explains that she spent two days under monitoring with medication adjustments and that the specific ad she saw included her name, making it especially distressing. The user questions the legality of such targeted or unsettling ads on smart appliances in the UK. A stainless-steel, side-by-side refrigerator with a built-in touchscreen display on the right door. The screen shows a bright yellow Apple TV+ advertisement reading “WE’RE SORRY WE UPSET YOU, CAROL” for the series Pluribus. The left door includes a water and ice dispenser. The fridge is in a modern kitchen with small appliances visible in the background.

@temptoetiam@eldritch.cafe je ne sais pas s'il y a une "règle d'Internet" formalisée, du genre "règle du panneau de Troie : tout écran connecté à internet a vocation a devenir un écran publicitaire, quel que soit l'usage pour lequel il est vendu initialement". Ça vaut pour les télés connectés, les ordinateurs (qui peuvent afficher des pubs dans les notifications système maintenant), les smartphones, les frigos visiblement, les voitures sans aucun doute...
