..............all smart devices including plug into socket type electronics can all spy on you, you would have to be electronic free to not be spied on or no energy outlets in your house prepare for the return of the caveman days.
Great post. Some say they listen to your conversation since 1998 using mobile phone. It's crazy to think that they can record your conversation without internet connection. There must be hidden internet like connection used by governments.
Eh, I think it's just an unfortunate side effect of this particular feature. I don't look at this case as a very big deal or that they're using anything in a nefarious way. The fact that it can be turned off and that they're warning consumers about this steers my thinking that way.I would guess the topic is the broader problem of big brother style surveillance from corporations, fusion centers, and government entities. The smart TV is the tip of the iceberg.

Could be . . . but with the smart TV you would likely have the option to turn the voice recognition part off. Doing that is a great first step if you're concerned about your privacy.
pandora's box cannot be closed. all hail the hive mind
It's only a few models of it that are affected. It has to have a camera and built in microphone.I just got home and realized thta my smart TV is a Samsung.
Still, Netflix > Privacy and shit.
You know what the bigger issue is, and I may have to start a thread about it?
All of the current new TVs use that super advanced frame ratio shit, that makes even the biggest epic movies look like a live news cast or a soap opera. I effing HATE that shit, it actually looks like a documentary about the FILMING of a big movie, and at some point I expect to hear "CUT", or some narrative about the scene, DURING the scene. It looks shitty, I can't get used to it, and I am keeping one of my old 50" plasma TVs JUST for that reason. The day that plasma dies I will be on Craigslist or some shit, trying to buy another older plasma or LCD.
I was watching gladiator, and it looked like "the making of gladiator".
This is remedied pretty easily by messing with the settings.You know what the bigger issue is, and I may have to start a thread about it?
