Your TV Is Spying On You (www.ludlowinstitute.org)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by Pro@programming.dev to c/technology@lemmy.world
 

You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.

Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

Welcome to the future of "entertainment."

Just create a black hole network at your house and connect all 'smart' appliances to that. Block all traffic at the router level. This prevents them trying to connect to open mesh networks and also provides the benefit of cataloging all the traffic

Spy all you want Agent Hisense of the Roku org, I've got you in a black box. Your communications have been cut! You'll never report back to HQ now!

On my Sony Bravia running Android you can just disable the Samba app from running same as you'd disable any app in Android.
