Скачать или смотреть SMART TV SPYING ON US!

The concern about smart TVs "spying" on users began to gain public attention around 2013. During this period, several reports and investigations revealed that some smart TVs were collecting data about users’ viewing habits, voice commands, and even conversations picked up by built-in microphones.

Here’s a brief timeline of key events:

2013: Reports surfaced that certain smart TVs were transmitting information about what users were watching back to manufacturers, sometimes without clear user consent.
2015: Samsung’s privacy policy for its smart TVs warned users that their spoken words could be captured and transmitted to third parties if they used voice recognition features. This caused widespread concern and media coverage.
Ongoing: Since then, various brands have been found to collect data for targeted advertising, content recommendations, and software improvements. Most manufacturers now include privacy settings, but concerns remain about how much data is collected and how it is used.
