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

@dlugasny @dangillmor You hang with an unrepresentative crowd. Remember that 'almost everyone' has no detailed knowledge of technology, and no need for this knowledge in their everyday life. They know that the router is the box that brings internet into their home, and how to enter a password to connect to it, and that is all they need to know.
