Your TV Is Spying On You (www.ludlowinstitute.org)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Pro@programming.dev to c/technology@lemmy.world
 

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."

I watch TV through my computer using Jellyfin. Am I at danger?

Other than your PC or Mac spying on you, you are in no danger.

Spy all you want Agent Hisense of the Roku org, I've got you in a black box. Your communications have been cut! You'll never report back to HQ now!

On my Sony Bravia running Android you can just disable the Samba app from running same as you'd disable any app in Android.

At this point I'm just going to assume George Orwell was a time traveler. He's been right about everything so far.
