Article Your television is watching you

Do you agree with this statement? For those who casted a vote the answer was, the eyes have it.
 
How bad is this, I have a Samsung smart tv and I didn't even know it had a video camera 🙂 Though if a security agency were watching, they'd mostly see the dog asleep on the sofa

Unless they've found a way to turn your dog into a spy for them! The plot thickens!

I have a camera in my laptop which is covered by a post-it note so the first step of security has been taken. My television does not have a camera (and I would never get a television with a camera).

I cover mine too.
Our TV isn't smart, but we have a Kinect.... maybe that's watching us?!

I've seen Mr Robot, I know my laptop camera can watch me (so I do all my embarrassing dancing in front of it, just in case!😛)

Lawl, my parents also have put tape over the inbuilt cameras in their laptops. They are so paranoid (with reason I guess).

My laptop nor my PC has a camera. I've got a smart tv but it doesn't have a camera. My house is probably the only place where I'm not being filmed! I live in the middle of the city centre; I walk out my door and there's two cctv cameras on my street, and then like another billion throughout the city, watching our every move.

Just for interest, what sort of tape did they use?
Within a quarter mile radius of where George Orwell wrote "1984", there are now 332 CCTV cameras. There can be no freedom without privacy, so I do not consider the UK or the US to be free countries.

All them CCTV's and still no juicy stuff on You Tube
Cctv scares me worse! I have always covered cameras on my laptop. Peeps said I was paranoid. Funny now Im not!

The inbuilt front cameras on tblet/iphone are the ones I hate. Watchin my face when i type - thats the whole reason I go online! So no one can see my face (tears snot ya know).

My tv is way too old for a camera and if it watched me over the weekend - i demand a paycheck. That was some high class furniture porn.

Yep, them rounded table legs are so .. .. err, I almost forgot this is a family friendly site, sorry.
I absolutely believe that those cable boxes/DVR things have the ability to spy on us. Why else would they force us to use digital and make analog obsolete?
Our televisions are hooked up to very complex electronic machinery. And I refuse to believe that it's for our benefit. I wouldn't be surprised if our televisions are now a two-way portal; we watch it, and it watches us.

True my TV is hooked up to a DVD player and a home theatre surround sound system. The neighbours hate it when I play the Black Sabbath DVD.
I put a camera in my old computer so that it could watch the TV then it got very self conscious so I moved the camera into my TV so it could watch the computer. It committed suicide soon after, what does that say about me?
 
Anyanka Bunny Killer,
WHAT! How could you say that about me, do you really think I am insane? I am so glad you didn't say I was going insane. I'd hate to have to go through that again! (tee hee)

I think you might be...um, insane. Ha.
No camera on my TV, so that's good. And there's not much they would see on my computer camera. Me watching TV and staring at the computer screen. Nothing interesting about me. lol. But that's creepy to know someone could be watching.

She isn't watching you, but she has faced you, she does have both palms on the screen but she faced back to her family telling them, "Their ba-ack!"
She was looking at you, from inside the screen, just in case you are worried about the camera don't be, they can see you quite well without the camera. You don't have an upstairs at your place, .. .. .. .. do you?
 
I don't have a tv. I keep the eye of my PC covered unless I am using it for something. But my phone...goes everywhere, knows everything, sees and hears everything...the other day it knew what time the event I was at was over and told me how long it would take for me to get to my hotel. It did all that without me putting any of that info into it intentionally. I have no privacy, but I'm sort of boring so....I pity the poor fool who has the job of spying on me.
 
Well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's covered the camera on my laptop. My friends have had good laughs at me for that, but hey, just cause you're paranoid doesn't mean no one's watching 😉 (I blame Criminal Minds for making me paranoid)
