They should be sued . Is an invasion of privacy. And should never be sharing anything

[MrGangproster]

Reason I want a smart tv is for the 4k not the voice commands stuff

[alvaroach]

And here I am with my old ass bulky-ass 90's television.

[gangatalishis]

lol your computer does the same thing lmao 

[angelahamlett]

Alexa hears records and saves everything too. Why I'll never get one.

[Varedz]

I don't own a tv I own fresh air out doors

Welcome to the future. All those scifi shows and movies are becoming reality.

Google does this same thing with your search results.
You can protect yourself by reading privacy policies, and if it's tracking you, switch to an alternative.
You can have privacy if you're smart about it and read what you're agreeing to.

They can even listen to your thoughts and they do not need a camera to watch you everywhere.

Using my tv as a computer monitor, still not agreed to the terms and conditions on my samsung Q7DAA however I can never be fully sure my privacy is not being invaded since I have lost any trust I ever had for these tech giants. This does not feel like the America I grew up in and most politicians won't do anything about it because they are involved in the corruption. So sad future generations will never understand the freedoms we lost since 9/11 and most Americans of any age won't realize how serious these kinds of things are until it's too late.

"The whole reason you bought the TV in the first place". Umm... What?!?!?!

[YousefTube]

How to avoid it just don't buy it in the first place.

[MOstix]

Heaven forbid we have to go back to pushing a button on our remote.😂😂😂😂😂

[cam-inf-w]

Notice theres no physical tv buttons especially on or off. So youre forced to use the remote and keep the ir sensor uncovered which can also be used as a black and white camera btw.

[mistydawn]

Isnt it funny Alex Jones spoke about this years ago, but yall thought he was crazy???

[bexyevans]

They shouldn't be doing that! Private conversations are meant to be private. I think the only times they should pick up on things is when someone is in danger, or something is wrong. Otherwise, this shouldn't be happening.

[AQDuz]

This may be a dumb question that's irrelevant to this topic, but does any know what size is at 0:41 ?

[keemo]

Every single voice assistant does this.. including Alexia after you say Alexia, the real news is if it it kept recording after it carried out your voice command or 24/7 recording

[LightBluly]

My parents not intrested new tv anyway. We still using old Sony TV 2009 but still its flat screen
