Samsungs Smart TV Can "Spy" On Your Conversations

This story is about a Smart TV by Samsung hat can hear your conversations as long as you are near it. Although in the privacy policy it says that be careful what you say near the TV because it will be recorded and put into 3rd party. This is scaring people with the TV because they don't want anybody hearing there personal conversations.  I think they should have the smart TV in their room instead of living room because the living room is somewhere where you should be able to talk about anything and everything. They say you also shouldn't talk about tax evasion, or drug use near it. It is important to note that although it can hear you talk, if you turn off the voice record feature, then it won't be able to listen to you.

People were also panicking about Siri on the Iphone 4s, 5, 5c, 5s, 6, and 6 plus. That also saves everything you say.  So in all seriousness as long as you turn off the voice recording feature, then you shouldn't worry about anything. But if you do keep it on you can use voice commands to get around the TV. You can use apps that you talk into like Talking Tom. So you can really use the TV any way you want as long as you feel comfortable with what you talk about near the TV.
