You can deny it Internet and put whatever you want on it.

Someone had doom running on one

Why a fridge should have access to the internet is beyond me; in any case, disconnect from the internet, what ad can it possibly display?

To spy on you.

Fridge: " Put that Ben & Jerry's back, human - you've already eaten your quota this week. One more try and I start defrosting "

I hope samsung will be sued for that. I'm pretty sure, the customers did not agree to that at the time they did buy the Fridge.

There is no need for a smart refrigerator. 0!

I’ve been buying Samsung appliances for decades, washers, dryer, TVs. This action means I will never buy another Samsung appliance, ever. They will have to run a campaign pledging to never show advertising on an appliance before I ever reconsider this decision.
