Samsung is warning customers about discussing personal information in front of their smart television set.
三星警告消费者在智能电视前不要交谈个人信息。
The warning applies to TV viewers who control their Samsung Smart TV using its voice activation1 feature.
When the feature is active, such TV sets "listen" to what is said and may share what they hear with Samsung or third parties, it said.
Privacy campaigners said the technology smacked2 of the telescreens, in George Orwell's 1984, which spied on citizens.
The warning came to light via a story in online news magazine the Daily Beast which published an excerpt3 of a section of Samsung's privacy policy for its net-connected Smart TV sets. These record what is said when a button on a remote control is pressed.
Smart TV owner Peter Kent: "It makes me think twice."
The policy explains that the TV set will be listening to people in the same room to try to spot when commands or queries4 are issued via the remote. It goes on to say: "If your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party."
