In "1984" the state forces telescreens in every home and workplace. In our modern world people voluntarily give up their privacy for Big Brother Zuckerberg and Bezos.

I’m shocked, in meetings where I work, how many of us have tape over the cameras on our laptops.
We have a smart TV at home and have frosted tape over the camera. We have a microphone on our remote but to activate it we must accept their terms, which we’ve never done.

When money in ones hands no longer exists, freedom is gone. Older Baby Boomers will be the last of those who won't voluntarily give up the existence of money that's any more than a credit in a supervised account.
I fear that our last expression of freedom was electing President Trump. The (not so) Invisible Hand won't let that happen again.
Just my honest (outlier) opinion

The same patent applications reveals a device that could 'recognize a T-shirt on a floor of the user's closet' with Will Smith's face. Whew. I guess I'm in the clear. I don't own a T-shirt with a picture of Will Smith's face on it...

I guess that means humans are even more like sheep than George Orwell thought they were.

I think that there is a mic in a smart TV itself as well, so just opting out of the remote mic may not be enough.
I need to find out how to find the cameras on our Samsung smart TVs.

Unfortunately, your opinion is dead on target.
We invite the spy into our homes, our autos, our phones. We then converse with them daily. They know more about you than your immediate family members.

um, look for the lens?
seriously, all it takes to prevent spying is a piece of masking tape.

Have them listen for the n-word, or signs of islamophobia. Oh yes, they can monitor to be sure you use the new government-approved pronouns and fine you for every violation.
China is already fining people for anti-social behavior. The left loves China because it is a repressive, socialist state. Will happen here. CA first, then Oregon.

I know about lenses on PCs; we have tape on all of ours. Never paid any attention to the anatomy of a smart TV, though. Will have to check it out.
To: MayflowerMadam
And its getting harder and harder than find a TV that isnt a smart TV

Orwell’s “1984” is supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual.
Big Data is evil.

We have tape over kindles, laptops and smart phone. No microphone activation on anything.
Not sure I will use microphones ever.
