How I Discovered My Smart TV Was Spying On Me
Proceeds to never explain how.
When I Noticed My Smart TV Was Spying on Me
Proceeds to never say when this happened…
Can we get an article that isn’t vapor clickbait maybe?
I will summarise my experience.
When I bought an LG Oled C5 TV and started it up I read the EULA and privacy agreements, there were five of them for some reason. I declined all except for the first.
Buried in the fourth agreement are details of screenshot capture of content being watched, of photos of viewers, facial recognition for age and demographic identification and voice recording of key words for advertising purposes.
So my LG TV doesn’t get internet access.
I carefully declined everything, and disabled automatic updates. Then I updated manually, and the update auto-enabled everything I declined.
So I factory reset the TV and didn’t connect it to the Internet again.
These criminals should be in prison.
This is why I don’t buy proprietary smartdevices.
