Oh yeah. I suppose you’ve heard about the scandal with respect to LG smart TVs but it turns out smart TVs are all like that.
It’s basically flock on the living room wall that’s always on even when it’s “off”.
Europe has particularly stringent privacy laws because of the Nazis and East Germany. They had much more direct unpleasant experience with authoritarian surveillance.
I think we’re beginning to learn how hateful that shit is
