If so, CIA and MI5 have been listening to every word you have said using your TV as a listening device, according to Wikileaks latest releases. Laugh

I have one, paranoia and shock beginning to set in now Scared

I've got one.
I knew it had extra features. Not that I use any, so if they're using it, it doesn't seem such a waste of money.

I always wondered how gogglebox was filmed. NOBODY could be that stupid if they knew they were recorded!
Report lfc1971 • March 7, 2017 11:46 PM GMT
I would like everything that everyone does to be recorded, 24 hrs. everything that we say and do.
and I would like to make myself invisible at the same time, but everything to be recorded.
Report lfc1971 • March 7, 2017 11:51 PM GMT
That seems to be a contradiction , but that's how I feel. Inly if we record everything, in the modern world can we be free from other people, and ourselves ?
Report lfc1971 • March 7, 2017 11:56 PM GMT
I don't think this will be done by the government , or any outside power such as the intelligence forces or police or state.
People might start to do this themselves , and it might start somewhere in Britain or some other very free and liberal democratic country. Individuals and then it would become something many, most people might do

Just after the guarantee on my Samsung Smart 3D TV expired, the 'Smart' electronic circuit board failed so access to the internet didn't work any more.

I was given a quote of £150 to replace the board, so I didn't bother. I hardly ever used the internet access using the TV in any case, so I decided it wasn't worth getting the repair done!

The allegations suggest spying through these devices is possible when powered down, so deactivating part of it wouldn't help I wouldn't have thought.
It's just the thin edge of the wedge. I'd take a guess that it's the vast majority of the worlds population, perhaps as high as 90% who have no idea how or what the technology they carry around, rely upon daily, that's in their homes and places of work or in the street or even their car is doing or is capable of doing.
That means there is a massive divide between those that know what's possible and those that are likely to be abused.
But the argument is always that the alternative is even worse so just accept it.
That in itself is totalitarianism in practice, the enemy themselves being largely a creation an a narrative of those doing the controlling.
You don't get an option of civilisation or Islamic state for eg, you are either caught up in civilisation under their rules or are the enemy.

Makes me wonder whether trump knows more than everyone thinks.
The process is that we spy on the yanks and they spy on us and swap info to bypass regulation.

People have short memories.
They seem to have forgotten that it wasn't that long ago companies agreed to make back doors available for spook access.
Some companies denied and made statements to the public that they wouldn't do it, but don't believe it, it's just a brand building excercise to grow a company by making the consumer believe they are the good guys, when they are in league behind closed doors.
All these devices that are apparently made with better tech to limit the effort of the user continues to degrade Liberty while regulators scratch their arses trying to keep up.
It all goes hand in glove, the companies use governments like puppets to get legislation through lobbying and the governments regress privacy rights in accordance with them then allowed access to information.

You don't have to sit with a tinfoil hat to see where this ends up.
