Train your cat to sit in front of the TV WHEN YOUR NOT HOME

[KarlInOhio]

Citizen, your TV noted that you were smiling far more than politically acceptable with yesterday's election results. The IRS has been notified.

[Hot Tabasco]

The only problem is that I’m now afraid to use it. You would be too

As long as you wear a bathrobe or pajamas when watching TV as you should be when in front of your computer, you should be OK.......

As a side note, WE can see you too........

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I like my tv dumb. If it has wireless set the router to ignore it.

[Resettozero]

Wonder if he has a current generation smartphone. If so, his privacy has already gone out the window.

You can cover up the camera.
This is Big Brother through the back door. Before long, law enforcement will subpoena the records.

Hook it to a computer for the ‘advanced features’ Then it is basically a big dumb monitor.

My TV is run by a Vista generation Acer computer that my kid found for me for 25 bucks... Has BlueRay DvD, and I upgraded the network to gigabit, and gave it a 2gig vid card.

Sweet.

If this fellow already has a ‘smart tv’, as he says, then place the power cord, on a separate power bar, and turn the power bar off, when not watching tv! No power for the tv, at all, as compared to always in a ‘sleep’ mode, when you are not watching it now.

COLLOSUS: THE NEW MEDIA PROJECT

Heck, it won't have to ask!

[tophat9000]

Your Smart TV is as dumb as a box of rocks without and Internet connection. .its just a lite PC ...so don't connect to the internet.. but by that same logic.. why are you on the Internet posting this with a regular PC if your afraid of a TV

[trisham]

Just throw a blanket over the TV and listen to it, like radio. Remember radio?

“In America Television watches you.”

[daniel1212]

It logs where, when, how, and for how long you use the TV. It sets tracking cookies and beacons designed to detect “when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message.” It records “the apps you use, the websites you visit, and how you interact with content.” It ignores “do-not-track” requests as a considered matter of policy. ]

As is if this was much different than surfing the Net with a computer.

[Pajamajan]

It’s creepy what all this stuff can do. If someone wants to make money, they need to come up with a device that blocks this stuff, but still lets the TV work.

[BlueDragon]

“We’ll spy on you through your dishwasher” read one headline. Indeed, as the “Internet of Things” matures, household appliances and physical objects will become more networked. Your ceiling lights, thermostat, and washing machine — even your socks — may be wired to interact online.

When tears come down,
Like falling acid rain,
You'll toss They'll look around,
And call my write down your name,

You'll They'll walk the floor,
The way I you do,
Your cheatin' heart socks,
Will tell on you...

By now you've all seen how the bits and pieces of info are being tied together; and quite RAPIDLY at that...
