Samsung, LG, Vizio smart TVs are recording/sharing data about everything you watch

That's it. I'm never doing anything but googling Duran Duran, randomly yelling out the words vitaman e, and watching pug videos for the rest of my life. Oh wait..they now know my plan. Shit. Shit. They now know I know they know my plan. Double Shit.

Uh.. Most people's google searches have more incriminating data than their smart tv commands. If you are more scared of you tv than your phone, then you don't know how the modern world works.

Personally, I'm ok with tumblr suggesting knew porn blogs for me to follow....

We should walk around with our dicks out, cause sometimes we walk in front of a window without clothes on, right?


And no, I don't use Google search. My phone has been largely de-googled, and the only remaining (account)service I use anywhere is Gmail for legacy contacts. Youtube gets used without logging in, and much less than I used to.

Dammit, I just ordered an LG TV. Is it going to watch me fap?

Nope. It takes commercial breaks off.

Not only that, I've seen reports of LG TVs recording video using the camera > storing the data and sending it to LG.

Guessing others do it as well.

Which also means, companies are probably recording/sending your smartphone video as well.

Smart my ass.

These devices are quite opposite of smart, they not only make people stupid and force them to waste their time. They also enable companies to have access to just about every detail of your life!

America doesn't mind.
