Your TV Is Spying On You (www.ludlowinstitute.org)

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."

What 4K TV can I buy that doesn’t do this guys help? Or should I stick to monitors???

I mean... Just don't hook the TV up to the internet. Don't join your WiFi network on the TV.

Kind of a simple solution.

No it’s not! I had a goddamn Sony tv and it wouldn’t let me change certain settings unless I connected it to the internet! They try to force your hand!
