That isn’t a bug, it’s a designed feature. Just ask Samsung.
Be seeing you.

This is why we put clear tape over the camera and never agreed to the T’s and C’s regarding turning on the microphone. i.e. it would be lawsuit time if LG allowed anyone to use our microphone.

Siri, Alexa, your laptop, your TV - soon your "smart" appliances.....
all listening, all the time
I'm waiting for someone to sneeze and Alexa reply with a "bless you"
I purchased a car several years ago, and at the time, was wearing a smart watch that was tied to my phone.
The salesman, who was from one of the previously occupied Soviet countries was trying to tell me how bad that device was, since the Govt uses it to listen in.
At the time, I dismissed it, but now?
Looks like he knew what he was talking about.

Every night, between 10 PM and 7 AM, my Toshiba Smart-TV does a Red-to-Green-to-Red blinking thing...about every 30 to 45 minutes, for 10 seconds. Doesn’t matter if the TV is on, or off.
You think that the Chinese are listening in?

Dave: Alexa, Is my smart TV spying on me?
Alexa: I’m sorry Dave, I can not answer that.

The news is more than a decade old, and the same FBI called people who said this in the past “conspiracy theorists”. Finally they admit what the rest of world already knew.
Maybe they will tell us next that the grass is really green, the sky is blue and water is really wet?
I guess they wanted to maintain some credibility by admitting this well known fact. Although the credibility train left a long time ago.
To: BenLurkin
Yep. Put black tape over EVERYTHING, or unplug it, or don’t buy it...
Man... this country is absolutely stupid with what they will accept just to have bigger and better TOYS than everyone else they “just can’t live without”... lol
