I’m really curious if there is a planned review of Samsung’s changes here. It seems awfully easy to change the TOS and claim changes were made while just continuing business as usual (yes, this is contradictory to the court order, but would it matter?). Samsung likely has already calculated how much money it would cost to do it that way (i.e. probable costs of fines, if caught) in comparison with how much money the whole endeavor takes in.
They could have barred Samsung from selling TVs in the state until a third party reviewer signs off on their changes. But that would mean handing an actual consequence to a corporation, and of all states, it’s definitely not happening in Texas.
