Spies are there, spies are here: TV in the living room is smarter than you think

If you think that special devices are needed for surveillance, then you are mistaken. Samsung Smart TV is on the list of devices that can monitor. This TV can be used to overhear a conversation or even see something.

Nothing prevents to read the privacy policy when setting up a new device, except for laziness and / or ignorance of technical terms. According to the Daily Beast, Samsung’s Smart TVs eavesdrop and record what you’re talking to. Turning on the voice command mode allows users to perform certain tasks with words rather than pressing a button on the remote control.

Samsung’s privacy policy for these devices has a rather alarming clause stating that the information collected may be passed on to third parties. Remember that if personal or other confidential information is mentioned in your conversations, then it’s not only your interlocutor who learns about it, writes AmericaRu.com
