These “security agencies” are anything BUT. They are a conspiracy of dangerous geek thugs which need to be controlled. Sometimes the cure is more likely to kill you than the disease.

We have 3 Samsung Smart TVs, too. I pity the fool who is so desperate to be bored that he’d actually use our TVs or PCs to spy on us.

That aside, this so pisses me off and I can’t even wrap my head around what’s going on in America. (Thank you, George Bush, for starting the ball rolling to kill our privacy.)

Wasn’t it about three years ago that someone released information that something in TVs could be used to view what was happening in the room? (Probably that included audio; I can’t remember.) It scared the crap out of me, but the MSM never picked up on it.

That’s been common knowledge for years.

I put my Samsung in cabinet that covers the camera. If they spy on me, all they will see is White Ash.

I’m not that worried about audio tapes of me and wifey moaning... :-)

And let's not forget...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

John O. Brennan
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
In office
March 8, 2013 – January 20, 2017

The deep state has been in operation for a long, long time, but the asshat Brennan surely took advantage of the opportunity he had to seriously ramp up cyber-surveillance worldwide. Soros => Obama => Brennan
....aka Triad of Evil.

Somebody out there must be working right now on a way to allow a viewer to watch the screen, while simultaneously delivering a blinding flash of light into the retina of the snoop on the other side in the peeping agency.

Man -- I thought Freepers would do a little more creative "outside the box" thinking.

If you suspect that someone is conducting surveillance on you, you don't look for ways to disable it ... you look for ways to deliberately feed them disinformation that will undermine their efforts and/or work to your advantage.

Isn't this exactly why almost every election poll in 2016 was wildly inaccurate?

LOL.

No.. that would be YELLING! And, the camera might well capture an incoming pillow.

I still use a backbreaker tube TV I bought in the mid 90s.

It’s outlasted a few digital units.

“..short of just unplugging them when they are not in use...”

I’ve got a CD player and a TV that have issues if left plugged in. (The TV won’t start, and the CD player won’t turn off! Different parts of the house!) I got a single on/off switch that plug into the wall between the wall and the unit. Well, I have mine on a short extension cord so they are within easy reach.

Verizon just sent a voice activated remote control. I don’t think our TV has a mike, although I suppose they could hack it and turn the speakers into mikes? But - the remote would be easy enough.

And of course Alexa is always on and listening (not that we have one).

Actually, a lot of the information from the WikiLeaks release are actually well-known to hackers and anyone reading technology news. Some of those hacks have been tested and proven (at least in concept form) for 8 to 10 years! Essentially, they've rehashed what Leo Laporte (TWIT podcasting network) and Steve Gibson (the head of Gibson Research and well-known security researcher) have been talking about on the Security Now podcast for several years.
