The part about the TVs being remotely operable spies is old news but it was Google and Samsung etc that were the immediate scoundrels. The part about the CIA is new information but you know it had to be and I am sure most everyone assumed it. So this is not so much revelation as confirmation.

In fact, ANY Internet-enabled device could be hacked--every "smart" TV out there, the Amazon Echo and Dot device, and the Google Home device.

My old Toshiba CRT works just fine, and doesn’t spy on me.

Well....now we know why our government shared the (WWW.)world wide web, for all to use. The most ingenious Trojan horse ever constructed.

Look at your cable box sitting over there by your (smart?) TV. It’s staring right back at ya, and, if it’s got fiber optic service into it, its little front panel that is designed to passively “receive” your remote’s key presses could sooo easily also actively “receive” whatever you’re doing and/or saying, could have a little lens and/or microphone embedded in it, and could send all it sees and/or hears out to the good guys. Sleep well, fellow tin-foilers.

Cut cable 5 years ago , bought my own modem and have built from scratch my Pc’s...no cams/microphones here...what I type out is public just like my “faceschmuck page” which i only started to post comments on political articles...D.C. and the agencies realize I look upon them as scumbags and thieves and i remind them of it quite often....I relish the curt language I direct their way and any other rumpswab hack pilfering our treasury...No fear.

Oh my goodness. They actually called it "Weeping Angel". As in, when you're not watching, it's doing things.

This was reported a little more than a year ago, though not as a CIA plot and not as succinct detail. Samsung has a number of models of "smart" TVs going back a few years.

This past weekend, I happened upon a reference here on FR to a woman named Kay Griggs who I had not heard of previously.... totally compelling stuff and after 10 hours of watching the interviews of her on youtube (which are quite believable), it's possible to have a slightly better handle on the depth of Deep State.....

Lol. I’ve hated Samsung products for a while anyway. Been on my own personal boycott of anything Samsung for over a decade. Happened when an old DLp Tv and a multi disc CD player crapped the bed in the same week.

Wondered about a mic., but I guess a speaker can be used in reverse, no?

My samsung fridge controlled my mind Saturday night. Kept me going back for beer after beer when I knew I already had enough.

I’ve always just assumed my smart TV was bugged. Not that that stops me from doing anything different. I figure that I will never be important enough for anyone to care what I do. Although the female watchers probably can’t help but admire my extreme handsomeness.
