TV? It's Watching You Back. |

TVs have
joined the ranks of websites, apps and credit cards in the lucrative business
of harvesting and sharing your information. Americans spend an average of 3
1/2 hours in front of a TV each day, according to eMarketer. Data firms use
your TV history to link up what you watch with what you do on your phone,
tablet and laptop - even what you buy in stores. It's like your TV can unhook
itself from the wall and follow you around.

The
American Civil Liberties Union says neglect at an Immigration and Customs
Enforcement facility in Aurora, Colorado, led to the deaths of two people. The
ACLU issued a report accusing ICE of violating "basic human rights" through
inadequate health care practices and not providing accommodations for
detainees with disabilities. The union has filed a lawsuit over the death of
one of the individuals, a 64-year-old man who died of cardiac arrest after
being held at the ICE facility two years ago. The lawsuit is still pending.
