I just found out about this creepy free #Telly TV. You guys this company is sending free 55 inch smart TVs to people who want them, but it’s this weird split screen thing that will ads play on the bottom the whole time, and there’s a camera in the middle, and if you try to do anything to keep it from tracking you they charge you for the TV. And if you want to return it you have to pay to return it.
It’s creepy as hell. Apparently you have to let it have all kinds of data but the camera on it will also track how many people are watching the TV, so you’re not allowed to put it in your bedroom even though they claim they don’t record anything.
You can buy a cheap generic TV from Walmart that doesn’t connect to the Internet and spy on you. Please don’t get a free spy TV.
I stole this picture from an old Reddit thread that was created because people couldn’t figure out how to shut the bottom screen off. I guess even if you turn your TV off that ad strip and the spy part still runs.
Please don’t do this to yourself. If you do anything to try to keep it from tracking you they just bill your credit card for the whole TV. And if you don’t want it you have to pay to send it back.
