[ParanoidTimes] Samsung Warns Customers






(ANTIMEDIA) — In a troubling new development in
the domestic consumer surveillance debate, an
investigation into Samsung Smart TVs has revealed
that user voice commands are recorded, stored, and
transmitted to a third party. The company even
warns customers not to discuss personal or
sensitive information within earshot of the device.

This is in stark contrast to previous claims by
tech manufacturers, like Playstation, who
vehemently deny their devices record personal
information, despite evidence to the contrary,
including news that hackers can gain access to
unencrypted streams of credit card information.

The new Samsung controversy stems from the
discovery of a single haunting statement in the
company's "privacy policy," which states:

"Please be aware that if your spoken words include
personal or other sensitive information, that
information will be among the data captured and
transmitted to a third party."
