Are you out of the road and alone at home? If you are shy and nodded, it is recommended that you use Samsung TV with caution.
Security researchers found that Samsung's latest smart TV has a special kind of "hello" that is "eavesdropping" on the whisper of masturbation. However, unlike a cute pet whose eyes are big enough to listen to you, TV will literally convey what you are saying to a third-party server and conduct a full-scale, dead-end analysis.
Samsung said that he was very embarrassed and explained that this kind of “X Hang X†behavior is actually based on good intentions because the feature of this TV is voice recognition and voice control.
You like to "eave" listening to your whispering TV, are you afraid?
In the latest privacy protection policy, Samsung wrote this:
In order to provide you with voice control services, Samsung will collect your voice instructions and related sentences. Please note that if your words contain personal or other sensitive information, this information will be captured and uploaded to a third party through your speech recognition system.
Upload user voice to the server, this kind of thing Apple, Google, Microsoft's voice assistant will do. Because the functions of semantic analysis and text conversion require remote servers to help. However, Samsung's uniqueness lies in the fact that when the voice function is turned on, the sign on the screen is not obvious, and many people do not even notice that they are being “eavesdroppedâ€.
Imagine that when you talked for a half-hour 18-minute banter, suddenly the TV around you was meticulously uploading what you said. Your heart must have filled you. . .
Although eavesdropping on “whispering†in most cases may not result in direct loss to users, it’s a matter of trepidation. Isn't this similar to what Big Brother “1984†did?

In fact, the reason why researchers love Tucao’s approach is because it has “proprietalsâ€. In 2015, the media discovered that Samsung TV collects the user's viewing habits and sells this data to advertisers who will push specific advertisements to users based on this data. In this case, will Samsung recommend you to see Fei Yuqing's big collection based on your private whisper?
With a lesson from this, Samsung strongly emphasized in its statement that it will not retain customer's voice data or sell it to third parties. The frightened user is sighed with relief.

Is it not pleasant to filthy in your own living room afterwards? Let's talk about whispering TV's feelings first. What fun is there in life? In fact, you don’t need to panic when you want to buy this kind of smart TV. If you feel unaccustomed, users can choose not to enable voice recognition.
With regard to this, there is only one last little question left: Do not turn on this flagship feature and buy the smart TV's eggs. . .
