Your TV Is Spying On You (www.ludlowinstitute.org)

You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.

Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

Welcome to the future of "entertainment."

YOUR tv is spying on you. MY tv has no smart capability.

How does that help me though?

I think they are inviting you over to their place to watch some (dumb) TV?

Finally, some good TV :)

Disconnect it from the internet...?

Is every comment in the world supposed to cater to you? Are people allowed to add to discussions without consulting you first?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it adding to discussions or just posturing? Much like heavy's comment was about their issues, Lost_My_Mind's was also about their own situation. Why is the latter acceptable and the former not?

My assumption is not because it promotes discussion, but because it's something that's more people emotionally agree with.

Yeah it contributes to the discussion with the simple solution on how not to be spied on by your TV, in an admittedly patronising way.

Yikes, I didn't know I was being hostile, sorry I hurt your feelings.

You will never be forgiven!

I probably have some bad karma :(

Pal, it’s way beyond bad karma at this point!!!
