@_official_brianwandera: Here’s how you stop your smart TV from spying on you. The language may vary from one manufacturer to the next but the end result is the same. Go to Settings → Terms & Privacy → Privacy Choices → Terms & Conditions → Privacy Policy → untick Viewing Information Services and Internet-Based Advertisements Service Privacy Notice. What you just turned off is Samsung’s ACR — Automatic Content Recognition. That’s the system that can analyse what’s on your screen, match it against a database, build a viewing profile, and use that data for targeted ads. Some ACR systems have been reported capturing up to 7,200 screen samples per hour and here’s the part nobody tells you: software updates can quietly change or reset privacy settings. Comment ‘DEEP’ to stop it at the network level and ‘SETUP’ if you want anything in my living room or home office. #smarttv #smarttvads #ACR #digitalprivacy #privacytips
