Watching it now and yep. Fucking straight out of Watch Dogs 2.

I now feel bad for people who bought LG crap unaware it can record everything.

Like imagine your good innocent and hardworking dad bought you a LG TV and assembled it in your room by himself when you were 10 years old back in 2016 as a monitor for your gaming rig, xbos, ps4/5, sometimes for watching Netflix and you still use it today connected to the net this whole entire time, literally half of your life is in LG datacenters. Eughh !

Even if they didn't do it back then, that's still gross.

Although I wish I have that kind of dad who can play video games with ya, who doesn't gaslight, guilt trip and hover over your head constantly like a fucking helicopter GTA 3 star wanted level style.

Remember how every LG Smart TV is a spy machine spying on everyone it can all the time?

LG are calling GamersNexus liars, and GN have things to say about that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToP9xfLDSME

...which is why they made a two-hour video demonstrating their claims over and over again.

Can you hear your neighbour's LG TV? Because it can hear you.

If the microphone is "off," you have to be closer - but they can still do it.

It's all demonstrated in the documentary. They do this _on camera_.

So "don't plug it in hur hur" doesn't work. It only cuts out one node of _tens of millions_.

This isn't a problem that can be solved by being smarter than everyone else, because even if you _are_ smarter than everyone else, you're still smarter than _everyone else_, and _they're_ all plugging _their_ sets into the network. That is, after all, most likely _why_ they bought a smart TV. To do exactly that.

Like it or not, this requires _collective_ action.

I'm getting too many "hur hur hur don't plug it into the network" responses that miss the point.

That's fine for your set.

It's not fine for all the other tens of millions of sets around you, _which also listen to you_.

These sets spy on every network they can sense, wifi and LAN, including yours to one degree or another if you live next door. They build profiles and geolocate, even if you never owned one, even if you never shared a network with one.

And if you _did_ share a network with one of these sets, they have IDed every network device you have and started building profiles around them.

This is the big LG television surveillance documentary story GN have been working on for a couple of months, and that they previewed a few days ago.

The complete pervasiveness of spying upon not just you and what you watch but _every person and every device around every set_ is genuinely staggering. And it gets worse if you use their apps, particularly the LG TV "network":

Having an old set DOES NOT HELP YOU; they've been adding these spying functions in firmware updates.

So DO NOT BUY ANYTHING LG. Certainly not anything "smart."

MSG Facial Recognition System Flags Activists, Spares Celebrities

The MSG facial recognition system is a stark example of a disturbing double standard, where activists are flagged and scrutinized, while celebrities and wealthy elites are spared, fueling concerns about a surveillance state that's increasingly out of touch with the rights of ordinary people. This biased approach…

I love this description of the weird behaviour of corporate surveillance algorithms: “They are actively trying to flatten my personality into something easy to monetize.” 😐🤑
It’s also a past you, so in a way they try to infantilise. We’re supposed to be static: no development or growth. No surprises. The stuck-in-the-past and averaging thing is just like ‘AI’ LLMs as well. A kind of devilish succubus that sucks any individualisation out; smooths off all edges; flattens & compresses (someone who can only buy a kettle, listen to the same song, do what you have already done,…).😵‍💫
I feel this is a *very* important insight. 🙏🏻

For many employees, the deeper concern is cultural: a sense that they are increasingly being treated as data points on a dashboard rather than professionals trusted to manage their own time.

Does anyone know where to get a #PineTab from? I'm in the EU and it seems to be surprisingly hard to get. All I can find is that one can import it from the US, but that currently might not be the best option. But I couldn't find anything on eBay/Kleinanzeigen and the like.

The Verge: Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design. “A concert on Monday night at New York’s Radio City Music Hall was a special occasion for Frank Miller: his parents’ wedding anniversary. He didn’t end up seeing the show — and before he could even get past security, he was informed that he was in fact banned for life from the venue and […]

@pallenberg Ich habe mich gefreut, dass Mastodon bei den Social-Media-Links als erstes steht und als ich #Matomo las, dachte ich erst "cool", aber dann sind mir eine Sache aufgefallen, die ihr vielleicht anpassen könntet:
Ihr habt ein sehr gefülltes #CookieBanner, das ich aus #Datenschutz-Sicht bedenklich finde

I just heard the stupidest argument against breaking up #Google's monopoly with #GoogleChrome: Since Google significantly supports #Mozilla financially in maintaining #Firefox, this would mean, Chrome would yank Firefox into the abyss with it.

Same company: Has a #Facebook account, an #instagram account, a #threads account, only a #gmail contact address, embeds #GoogleMaps, still embeds tweets, embeds #YouTube videos, still hosts their websites at #Amazon #AWS
