Your smart TV is monitoring you
A study has revealed that smart televisions can listen to and record users' conversations through their built-in microphones and webcams, even when the devices are turned off. Disconnecting them from the internet does not prevent audio data from being collected, as they can upload files once reconnected. Additionally, these TVs can detect nearby devices such as smartphones and smartwatches and communicate with them via Wi-Fi networks. They utilize automatic content recognition technologies to capture and compare sounds and images in order to monitor viewing habits and connected devices. They also have the capability to convert audio into text and store it. The study further explains that these devices are no longer solely for spying; they can also identify people living in the household and other devices, with the potential for hacking and gaining access to details of users' and their families' lives. This raises serious concerns about privacy and security.
