So my friend was telling me yesterday that she got a new Samsung smart TV for her living room. One afternoon she was sitting on the couch across on the TV, which was turned off, talking to her friend about social anxiety.
The next day her Samsung phone, Facebook account, and her son’s Instagram account (which is linked to her phone number) were blown up with ads for social anxiety medications.
She called Samsung up like “WTF“ and they admitted that it was a “feature“ on the smart TV for it to record conversations even when turned off in order to provide customized ads. You could turn off the setting but of course you probably wouldn’t even know about it unless something like this happened because it’s not like they readily advertise “this thing will record your conversations even when it’s turned off“.
this ain’t alright with me … bitch what the fuck

Literally 1984. In 4K.
No in 1984 the government forced people to have a telescreen, in the real world people just buy them
If i Remember correctly they only record key words, not the whole conversation.
How do you think they hear those keywords? The microphone is on all the time. They may say they aren’t preserving information but it’s really their word against yours. Also if you have a computer or laptop there’s a near certainty that you have a certain Intel chip that constantly monitors your data and cannot be turned off so have fun with that.
You can turn the microphone off. Or at least with mine and a few friend’s. Well majority of the laptops have term agreements as well. Including mine I know what’s happening. They can also be remobed by someone who knows what they are doing. I’m also not doing anything on these things that can compromise my identity or accounts. Don’t do illegal things. Term agreements??? Ever heard of em??? They have to abide by them as well. So anything they have is inadmissible in court. Is it right? No. But that’s what people get when they just click on shit.
“You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide“
Now where have I heard that before 🤔🤔🤔
