Smart TVs go far beyond tracking what you watch. Your smart TV may well be listening in to your conversations and even watching you from its built-in video camera.

According to Wikileaks, smart TV owners are particularly vulnerable to spying. Newly published documents detail a program called “Weeping Angel,” an attack designed by the CIA and United Kingdom’s MI5/BTSS that makes Samsung smart TVs look like they’re turned off when, in fact, they’re not. (CIA denied it. But a former officer claimed it’s true. )

If you have a Samsung TV, there are several ways to turn off voice recording. On newer TVs, go to Home > Settings > System > Expert Settings > Voice Interaction and turn to off. On older TVs, it may be in Settings > select Smart Features > Voice Recognition > switch to off.

You can also go to Settings > Support > Terms & Policies and opt to “Disagree” with the policies for Viewing Information Services, Voice Recognition Services, and Nuance Voice Recognition and Privacy Notices.

If your TV offers gesture control or facial recognition to authenticate your Samsung account, you can turn this off in the Samsung Account settings menu or cover your camera with a piece of tape.

Protecting the 4th A is as important as the 1st A....NSA -CIA has become like Hitlers secret police....We can not allow this....It is nothing short of tyranny....RAND PAUL will lead on this issue.....I suggest we all contact him and urge him....It is up to us to empower Rand. This is an issue that can unite Americans across the isle of divide.

Good thing I don't have a smart TV nor do I have smart phones. The ones I have are bad enough.
