Demand Roku to Cease Excessive Data Collection and Unwanted Advertisements
Demand Roku to Cease Excessive Data Collection and Unwanted Advertisements
Why this petition matters
I am a concerned consumer who has recently discovered that Roku, a popular streaming device company, has patented a new scheme to push their advertising when users pause their game console or Blu-ray player. This invasive strategy is not only disruptive but also raises concerns about privacy and data collection.
Roku's devices are in millions of households worldwide. The company's recent move to exploit paused moments for advertising purposes is an alarming invasion of our personal space. Moreover, the extent of data they collect from these interactions is concerning. In 2019 alone, Roku’s ad business grew by over 50%, largely due to its ability to target ads based on user data (source: CNBC).
This petition calls for Roku to immediately stop this intrusive practice and limit the amount of data they collect from users. We believe in the right to enjoy our entertainment without interruption or fear of excessive data collection.
We urge you all - whether you're a current Roku user or someone who values privacy rights - sign this petition today and demand change from Roku!
