Privacy Advocates Call For Investigation Into Samsung Smart TVs

Samsung’s Smart TVs have come under scrutiny recently after people learned the company’s privacy policy hinted that things we say within earshot of our televisions may be recorded and uploaded to third-party transcription services. While executives for the company have worked to calm people’s fears, a privacy group is now asked federal regulators to take a look into the matter.

Just ponder the millions of TV's that are involved and then do the math.It can't happen in mass numbers.Specific people must be targeted for this to become a reality,and no one could care less what the masses do or say unless a red flag arose or a hacker took interest in someone in particular.

This is what you get when you try to call people who have knowledge conspiracy theorist all because you fail to belive that the govt or the workers of govt could do such things...

Yet, you all are ok with your phone being tapped, and tracked and even having back doors for cops to listen to your mics and look with your camera...

Way the fuck up people, if you are scared of your TV then you should be scared of the smart meter...

The head of NSA or CIA, I can't remember which, even stated in a interview, we will track you through your washing machine... and frankly he is right, they can track any thing so called smart... Phones, TV's, Washer and dryers, Refrigerators, those new smart light bulbs, smart meters, cars can even be hacked now...

But this is what you get when you don't give a damn... This is what you get when you are naive... This is what you get when you put others down who have and provide evidence this will happen, calling them crazy...

Well who is crazy now, certainly not the guy who had evidence this is and would happen... The crazy person is the person who didn't believe this would or could and is now worried... Well guess what, you can't stop it now nor take it back so get used to being tracked...

And just wait until drones are over head at the end of the year... imagine what the police will do or could do especially since they have free rain to murder people and say they were scared pussies as the reason to shot someone..

Mark my words, they will come and lock you up for things you have done many years ago, once someone reviews the tape...

“Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters — all connected to the next-generation internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing,” Petraeus said, “the latter now going to cloud computing, in many areas greater and greater supercomputing, and, ultimately, heading to quantum computing.”

In other words, the CIA is embedding backdoors into your web connected devices and smart meters.
