Vizio may be reaching a settlement in its TV data-tracking class action lawsuit, in which the TV company could pay up $17 million in response to tracking its customers’ viewing habits (discovered back in early 2017), although the deal is subject to final approval.

Since it was first discovered that Vizio was spying on its users’ viewing habits, the company already paid $2.2 million to the Federal Trade Commission in a previous settlement in 2017, in addition to promising that it would ask permission from users before tracking viewing habits and demographic data to sell to advertisers.
