Title: I told you so: Samsung Smart TV Spies on You in Your Home
Post by: eth0s on Tue, 24 February 2015, 01:35:10

George Orwell and I both told you so:  big brother is watching you through your TV, right now. 

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/02/05/your-samsung-smarttv-is-spying-on-you-basically.html

Beware the Internet of Things.  Soon when every device in your house is connected to the internet, the gov'mint, or google, or the N. Koreans, or Barack Obama, or anybody really, can find out when you sleep, who you sleep with, what you eat, who you eat with.  What are your recreational drug use habits?  They can calculate how much you weigh, your blood pressure, you heart rate, your body temp, and how much air you breath, just by accessing the data cache from your household appliances.   They will even be able to listen to your most secret private conversations, that you have in your own home.  Where you feel most safe. 

Worried they will find out your stealing toilet paper from work?  They'll know.  Worried they'll find out you're gay/ not gay at work?  They'll find out.  Worried they'll drop your health insurance 'cuz you eat too many donuts?  They'll do it. 

So make sure you say the right things at home, and vote the right way as well!  Might as well start practicing now, 'cuz it's coming.  Yay!   :thumb:  War is peace!

I'm glad they are introducing voice activated televisions. That way I don't have to get off the sofa to change the chann- ohhhhhh, wait, that's what REMOTE CONTROLS ARE FOR.

These lazy *******s, they deserve to be spied on...

Your phone can pretty much do the same already.
