SAMSUNG already introduced smart TV to the technology world which is so smart now that it is able to listen your side talks. We can say third person is listening your talks with the help of Samsung smart TV. Just imagine you are with your family or with your friends watching television and without your knowledge your smart TV is listening your personal talks and sends them to the third parties.
On this, Samsung said “we employ high security on our smart TVs which includes data encryption, secure consumers’ personal data. We have install voice recognition so that users can experience good service of smart TV,with the help of voice recognition feature user can control smart TV with the help OF his voice instead of buttons while we have also provided options for activating or deactivating the voice recognition. User can easily recognize whether the voice recognition is activated or deactivated with the help of microphone icon present on the TV screen. if the microphone is available on the screen it means your voice recognition is activated and if it is not available on the screen then it’s deactivated”.
Samsung also added regarding data being sended to third parties:
”Samsung does not retain voice data or sell it to third parties. If a consumer consents and uses the voice recognition feature, voice data is provided to a third party during a requested voice command search. At that time, the voice data is sent to a server, which searches for the requested content then returns the desired content to the TV”.
That is what Samsung responded to the following issue.we hope you don’t discuss any personal information in front your smart TV or you can just simply disconnect your smart TV with the internet connection and enjoy the popcorn.

The world gets worse and worse every day.
I gotta read 1984. Should be interesting to see the real life parallels.
Scott, I’ve re-read 1984, and the parallels are rather interesting. You should also watch some of the documentaries of Adolph Hitler.
Legion, your English is atrocious.

what poeple don’t under stand is, there is no “joining” anonymous. If you want to be a part of anonymous your in. There is no “how to join anonymous” or “paper you have to fill”. It is YOU who chooses if you want to be a part of anonoymous.
OK Anonymous Legionis, if I choose to be a part of your organization, how do I go about it?
As an FYI, I hunted scammers on dating websites a couple of years ago, and like you, I would get them kicked off the site. The ones who REALLY infuriated me, were the scammers who would pretend to be Military. One in particular, I caught by his IP address, and another, by the syntax of the messages (there were at least 3 in on that one).
Samsung wants to spy? I say we spy on Samsung and see how they like it. Spy on their people.
Didn’t we have the same scare, when Microsoft put an ‘always on’ camera in the Xbox One? It doesn’t only listen, it watches you too!
Scott Johnson, I’ve re-read 1984 recently, and you’d be amazed at the parallels. You should also check out documentaries on Adolph Hitler. Especially those about his life in the 1930’s.
What watching me get naked and getting it on with my women. Fucking perverts but whatever floats your boat Sammy no shame in my game. Better be getting top dollar for that over there.

This is just bull-shit hype.
When you issue voice commands to your phone, What do you think happens?
Do you think your phone is capable of doing the massive calculations required to recognize spoken language? No. Its done by a super-computer that Google Owns, And likewise when you issue a voice command to your Smart TV, A computer, Somewhere, Is figuring out what lame shit you wanted to do that you couldn’t be bothered typing yourself.
Please use your fucking brain, The quality of this site decreases every day.
I KNEW IT! This freaked my mom out because she swears she felt like being watched when she was cooking in the kitchen by the TV. She also said that she swears she saw a face when the Channel went to a ‘Whiteout.’ So I believe it. Now that’s creepy…
