To me, the scariest part is that the TV is monitoring what you’re watching. If it recognizes it and has an ad for it, it will display the ad. But in order to do that, it first has to figure out what you’re watching.
and yet so many people would routinely post pictures, text and tag themselves in photos on facebook. i think a lot of people are plain desensitized to this, or plain don't care.
I wish that everyone is as creeped out as you. may be that would affect some change.
There's a considerable difference between intentionally sharing your content with your extended network / the world and then having your entire TV watching history being logged by your TV vendor.
That just seems super creepy.
