Samsung SmartTV's Privacy Policy Causes Users to Spy

User Reddit read the User Agreement of his Samsung TV and found that it implies the transfer of voice input data to third-party services.



Here is a translation of an extract from the agreement:

You can control your SmartTV and use many of its functions with the help of voice control. If you have activated voice recognition, some voice commands may be transferred (along with information about your device, including identification information, to third-party services that translate speech into text or to the extent necessary to provide voice recognition for you. Please keep in mind that if you speak text that includes personal information or any other sensitive information, this information may be, among other data, collected and transmitted to a third-party service when using recognition voice.

On Twitter, this clause of the Agreement was compared with a quote from Orwell:

In response, Samsung said in his defense that the user can disable the feature or completely disconnect the TV from wi-fi.

Thus, watching TVs for their owners is common. The hype about this history of Western thematic media is gaining momentum - let's see if it can change anything.
