Man who owns a smart TV says he’s ‘afraid’ of using it after reading its privacy policy

.Just like with other electronic devices that used to be “dumb,” TVs have become increasingly smart lately, but that doesn’t mean that’s necessarily a good thing, especially when it comes to user privacy. At least that’s what Brennan Center’s Michael Price seems to think after he replaced his older TV that could offer access just to TV programs with a smart TV model that also delivers “streaming multimedia content, games, apps, social media and Internet browsing.”

“The only problem is that I’m now afraid to use it. You would be too — if you read through the 46-page privacy policy,” Price wrote. “The amount of data this thing collects is staggering. It logs where, when, how, and for how long you use the TV. It sets tracking cookies and beacons designed to detect ‘when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message.’ It records ‘the apps you use, the websites you visit, and how you interact with content.’ It ignores ‘do-not-track’ requests as a considered matter of policy.

yes I see this guys problem. 4th gen game consoles do the same and I think the 3rd gen were doing it as well. Also with the air gesture thing it means the units can track where you are in the room. I was like that with the last computer I was given. It sat there for 6 months before I finally had to switch to it. The built in camera has something taped over it because the unit has face recognition on it and I think it runs on auto in silence when you first setup the pc. it is difficult to keep out of the system though. It's coming from all angles.

Hahahahahahahahahaah, that's funny because my lap to also has a tape over the camera hole and voice hole, and a couple of more places that I didn't like.

I dont know what this guy is harping about.

He is just now becoming aware of the chains he had all along.

Now he realizes what smart in smart phone really means.

It makes those who rule over you.

SMARTER.

Toilet paper? Haven't you heard? Al Gore, inventor of the Internet, has teamed up with Sheryl Crow to create the new Air Bidet. Toilet paper will be banned by 2020 in order to save the Earth. The Air Bidet will clean your ass (or not) without generating any additional greenhouse gases other than what came out of your rear-end.

First, it's "voluntary." Then, it's "mandatory." I wonder if Orwell ever imagined that people would not only willingly install the two-way Telescreens, but go to Best Buy and pay a pile of money for it?

In 1984, O'Brien told Winston that the ultimate goal of the Party was to develop the ability to know what any given individual was thinking at any time. With the advent of "smart" technology, and the ability to monitor its use by any individual at will, I would say the Party has all but achieved its goal. If the average person believes that TPTB only spy on "the bad guys" they will never censor their own use of such technology, thereby essentially exposing what they are thinking at all times. Facebook posts, smart phone texts, conversations, internet browsing and searches... the aggregate of this information is essentially a window into a person's mind. And they carry this technology around with them constantly!

Fucking brilliant, you gotta admit.

Are "they" really this smart, or is there a Master Mind* behind them?

Good an explanation as any I suppose. Personally I can't say for sure.

It ignores ‘do-not-track’ requests as a considered matter of policy.

do these TV's use their own proprietary browsers? or the common ones like firefox, IE etc? If the latter, should be able to help some with the privacy add-ons,
Thread: Privacy Tools (http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthread.php?78399-Privacy-Tools)
"Do Not Track Me" touts overriding the attempts by sites which ignore your browsers friendly/voluntary request that you not be tracked. "Self Destructing Cookies" seems good too, though I'd like to turn off its notifications, just don't know if it's an option? Don't see it.

Anyways, if there aren't free 3rd party privacy add-ons for "smart tv's", I'd skip the smart tv's! No sacrifice here; I quit routinely watching tv years ago. Haven't even had a dumb, much less smart mobile for 10 years. The latter are tempting though; some of the capabilities would come in handy. If I made that plunge, it would be kept in an RF blocking bag when I wasn't actually using it.

I think they use mostly Apps from the google thing. So they will track everything. I'm trying to find a suitable browser for andriod but its difficult. I used Dolphin for a while but they got even more pervasive. I tried opera but its not very good. The firefox for Android is totally different to the PC version and tracks to much and saves too much.

And so instead of watching TV the TV is watching you.................

At TioT, my .sig line is "In Soviet Amerika, Internet search YOU." Same goes for "Smart" TVs now.

[Glass]

the screens are a key tenent of 1984. We're there. Its all operational, just not saturation deployment yet.

problem is, taping over the (web)cam you can see, prolly isn't enough...

[Glass]

so the front facing camera on the phone is just for show? I don't even know where the damn thing is.

We're already in now. If you go anywhere near anyone else who has a phone, uses an iPhone or Facebook, your voice is recorded.

I didn't know about those patents though. That guy was right back in 06/07 who was saying the tv's had camera's in them.

Is your TV watching you? Samsung's latest sets with built-in cameras spark concerns (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2117493/Samsungs-latest-TV-sets-built-cameras-spark-concerns.html)

Samsung's latest breed of plasmas and HDTVs may allow hackers, or even the company itself, to see and hear you and your family, and collect extremely personal data.


The new models, which are closer than ever to personal computers, offer high-tech features that have previously been unavailable, including a built-in HD camera, microphone set and face and speech recognition software.


This software allows Samsung to recognise who is viewing the TV and personalises each person’s experience accordingly. The TV also listens and responds to specific voice commands.

High-tech: Samsung's latest sets feature built-in HD cameras, microphone
sets and face and speech recognition software


But some critics have suggested that the TV company could be spying on you, or even watching and listening to you - without your knowledge - through these features.


Gary Merson, who runs website HD guru, said that because there is no way of disconnecting the camera and microphone, users cannot be 100 per cent sure that Samsung is not collecting data and passing it on to third parties.


Merson said: ‘What concerns us is the integration of both an active camera and microphone. A Samsung representative tells us you can deactivate the voice feature; however this is done via software, not a hard switch like the one you use to turn a room light on or off.


‘And unlike other TVs, which have cameras and microphones as add-on accessories connected by a single, easily removable USB cable, you can't just unplug these sensors.


http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/03/20/article-0-123EB5F8000005DC-501_468x351.jpg
Invasive: Gary Merson suggests that the Samsung's new models could be hacked into


‘During our demo, unless the face recognition learning feature was activated, there was no indication as to whether the camera (such as a red light) and audio mics are on. And as far as the microphone is concerned, there is no way to physically disconnect it or be assured it is not picking up your voice.’


Merson claims that this problem raises questions about whether Samsung can watch someone watching their TV, and listen to them, at will, via the microphone and internet connection.


It also sparks concerns, he says, about where Samsung stores this data that it collects and how secure it is.


He goes on to suggest that the TV sets could be hacked into if, for instance, they are run by operating systems that have a prior history of hacking.


When Samsung was approached to provide information on the set's privacy features or the company's policies, it did not respond.

Recently I moved and had to get a new ISP that used a form of Yahoo Mail for their e-mail service. For some reason I read the "Terms of Use" agreement that I was "signing". One clause in the TOU Agreement said something like (sorry I can't remember the exact jargon) "You agree to notify anyone you exchange e-mail with that by sending e-mail to you they are consenting to allow us to store, categorize, analyze and process the content of their e-mail and use it however we see fit."

I don't remember anyone who ever has notified me of this condition when exchanging e-mails with me through their Yahoo account. I imagine that if is in the Yahoo TOU Agreement, then it is probably in the agreements we sign for Gmail and Hotmail, etc., too.

Scary stuff.

Talmudvisions and computers will merge soon enough...they have already done so de facto, with Roku, HDMI out to TV, etc.. Just the formality remains.

The little camera is tucked away in it's home which points at the ceiling. I did try out the camera mechanism, but found it's worthless in low light situations. I found myself wildly swinging my arms while screaming at the god damn thing. Samsung knows how to press all my buttons.

The voice recognition is very nice. I wanted to watch the Gophers and didn't know what station was carrying their game. I just asked the tv to take me there and it did.

But which part of the Talmudvision is actually the camera?
