[Skel]

I'm sure it's a bit overblown but it does raise the question of who gets access to the TV's camera.

When I got my laptop, I seriously considered putting a post-it over the built-in camera. But I realized I only to "unfun" stuff with it, so meh.

Mine's turned off in BIOS. I had it for 2 years before I knew if the camera worked or not. Mostly cause I'm not a girl.

At some point the government will probably pass a legislation that ALL internet enabled devices must have a camera that is accessible by them. That will be the first step towards making it mandatory to have cameras inside every home so they can watch you even in your own house. It will probably be powered by Google.

We are probably going to find out that Google has been controlled by the govt ever since they went public....

Among other sensors it has an optical camera and microphone, it is also always 'on'.
