Right up there with smart tvs and gaming consoles being able to see and hear what’s going on in your home.

Big bro is already here.

“Right up there with smart tvs and gaming consoles being able to see and hear what’s going on in your home.”

Actually, when your local utility company controls your thermostats that is beyond info gathering.

Many if not most Californicator homes in PG&E’s control, have smart meters. PG&E can use them to shut off our power when one of their secret math calculations tells them to shut off your/our power.

my old, paranoid roommate used to have a pin on his bass amp (which he unfortunately rarely played considering how good he was) that said
BEWARE! THE GOVERNMENT IS TAKING OVER THE COUNTRY

He was always fearful that “the govt” was watching him (even though he never did anything) and i used to say “dude you really think the govt has “people” whose job is to track a mid 20’s handyman/cabinet installer who’s the captain of his bowling team?”

With the chinks outnumbering us by 4 to 1, it wouldnt be so hard for THEM to watch the 50-75 million deplorables like us.
Chang Wu can sit in Shanghai monitoring his 25 person case load to make sure we don’t have too much of a free mind.
I’m sure they can access all of our emails and probably most of our digital lives if they really want to.

The chicoms (and thus the US govt) can probably map out all of FR members to our actual identities if they really wanted to.

Exactly...anything you have in your home that is a SMART anything is infringing on your right to privacy.

You are not just being monitored outside your home or on your phone.
