Talk about a grotesque invasion of privacy:

"Smart TVs from Samsung and LG take screenshots of what you are watching even when you are using them to display images from a connected laptop or video game console"

How can this possibly be legal?

Here's why: Congress isn't just indifferent to your privacy. It is actively complicit with big corporations -- and law enforcement -- in embedding surveillance into everything we do.

Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second

Smart TVs from Samsung and LG monitor what you are watching even when you are using the screens to display a feed from a connected laptop or video game console

@dangillmor Should help to avoid connecting the TV to the internet. And rather only connect a computer or TV box or similar.
@Passable6192 @dangillmor I wonder how long until they embed cellular connections for this sort of shit.
@draeath @dangillmor Well, it depends on how many of us blocks. I recon most people don't care, so they might not bother.
