Was banging that drum back in the late 90s.
Apparently people have been spying through the cameras on computers and laptops for quite a while now.
How is this possible with a tv? Are there tvs with cameras now?
And of course anyone with a cellphone is a GPS tracking device, and anyone with an internet connection is susceptible of being tracked.
I love technology but it certainly undermines one’s privacy.
Old news is bad news. Alex Jones has been yelling about this for years, that there are listening devices in not only all new TV’s but in all the fairly new cable boxes (our cable guy practically stole one of the old boxes a year ago which, according to Jones, doesn’t have the remote device). Jones says that “they” can see out from the TV as well as from all computers equipped with mikes and cameras. This is what he says, don’t blame the messenger, and he claims to base all his claims on existing and already signed legislation.
OK, they asked for it.
I pity the person assigned to monitor my life. Hope he brings along a good book to keep him occupied.
It seems that only a tv connected to the internet can be used as a tracking device but there’s nothing really new about the internet being used as a platform for spying. I’ve always assumed anything connected to the internet is an open book, and can be readily accessed by prying eyes whether by those armed with a search warrant, an intelligence operative or some troublesome hacker or malicious criminal.
I think the most under-reported story out there is how insecure the internet highway is, and when there are reports of U.S. predator drones being hijacked by Iranian hackers or Iranian nuclear facilities being shutdown by internet worms, then you realize just how insecure the whole system is. When governments can’t protect their own connected devices, then you know it’s bad.
I thought they’d been able to do this for years with fiber optics. What else is new?

Interesting.
This article did not even mention the miniature video cameras with wireless uplinks to a surveillance satellites which are built in to every new TV - behind the screen, aiming out...

Funny, I thought the CIA want supposed to be conducting operations inside the USA , spying on us citizens.
How about just putting your tv into a nice armoire and closing the door? It’s going to be mighty hard for a camera to see through wood doors, especially those with a tin foil lining (attached with duct tape, of course).
