Ugh, in every thread there's some guy complaining about people's opinions, just because they don't specifically mention the brands and events from the specifc article linked. "A Panasonic TV gave your voice-search data to the police? Irrelevant! We're discussing a Mitsubishi smart-stove phoning the FBI because it detected you cooking Panda meat." I wish these people would realize that the problem is smart devices in general and stop complaining that the tiniest of circumstances make an entirely new case. I understand that this sort of emotional populism resonates with people: "lol, no - this case is totally different and you have to suck it!" but when I click on a headline I expect to see people engaging with the heart of the issue, not dodging and dissembling because they're offended by the implications. ---- Yeah, I get ya. It is annoying that people don't address the specific topic at hand, but you have to realize that the specific brand (LG) of the TV isn't the issue - companies blatantly invading our privacy is. If we get too distracted on which company is doing it this week we'll look up in a few years and realize we're arguing over whether Samsung or LG is sending our records to the government instead of fighting for a blanket users-rights bill and it'll be too late, both will be.
