Freaking awesome that gamers nexus investigations were suddenly legitimized. Its only a statement for now, but being pushed by al jeazera means more media is paying attention, which elevates GN quite a bit. Obligatory fuck LG.

It’s good to see that this gets the traction and public attention it deserves, and hopefully this leads to further discussions and investigations into other smart devices and companies. Not only these companies’ capabilities of spying on you, but other people like bad actors, or even state actors like NSA. There’s already plenty of speculation about data being willingly handed over to the NSA, and I think a lot of it is true, unfortunately…

Legislate required hardware switches for: Cameras Microphones Bluetooth Wifi etc… Then go ahead, put your surveillance stuff in. Unfortunately I will never see it because I live in USA, but I can daydream.

See their wording though they say the TV doesn’t record conversations. Didn’t the TV do speech to text which is not recording.

Look at the products in your pockets and on your wrists too. Everything is logged. Its terrifying.

The illegal privacy violations ‘smart TV features’ are way, way worse than you probably think. I’d encourage everyone to read up on it and, if you have a smart TV, educate yourself on how to turn off ACR and/or make it a habit of unplugging your TV when you don’t use it. I also made a video on it for my YT channel, if anyone wants to learn more.

We have three “smart” TVs: Samsung, Vizio, and LG. None of them are connected to any network at this point.

Corporate videos featured in the Gamers Nexus investigation show LG representatives saying: “We know who is in the LG household,” and, “We know which devices are there.” Whatever happened to just selling the fucking product and taking the profits. You’re already presumably benefiting from the exploitation nature through extraction and ewaste, of workers in mines and assembly plants, of a docile consumer base. Now they’ve just got to squeeze just that little bit extra and see if they can sell information stolen from people’s homes.
