"I'm the ghost with the most, babe." 💚🤍🖤
Thank you so much for the Beetlejuice art, @iiuriil!!
I can't stress enough for ANYONE to PLEASE go to the Queen @iiuriil for any kind of art! She's absolutely the BEST and I always go to her for more.
Your smart TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 500 milliseconds.
Every show, game, video call, every laptop you have ever plugged into the HDMI port. The TV photographs all of it and ships the data back to the manufacturer.
On May 12, the law firm Peiffer Wolf filed a federal class action lawsuit against Hisense. Their smart TVs in millions of American living rooms capture screen content every 500 milliseconds and route the data through their Chinese parent companies, which are subject to laws compelling them to share that data with the Chinese government on demand.
Every major smart TV brand sold in America does the same thing. Samsung. LG. Sony. TCL. Vizio. Roku. Amazon Fire. The technology is called "Automated Content Recognition."
The data goes to the manufacturer's servers, then to advertising partners, then to data brokers, then to political campaigns.
Vizio executives admitted in 2021 that selling viewing data generates more profit than selling the actual televisions. By 2023, Vizio's platform revenue, which is mostly ads and harvested viewer data, hit $598,000,000.
The customer is the inventory.
75% of American households have a smart TV with ACR running. Roughly 100,000,000 homes. You paid the cartel to install the camera in your living room.
The fix takes 2 minutes. On every brand, the setting is buried in a privacy menu labeled with something polite like "Viewing Information Services" or "Live Plus" or "Smart TV Experience."
Toggle it off. Better yet, unplug the TV from the internet entirely and use a streaming stick you actually control. The screen does not need a network connection to display content.
Unplug it tonight.
@Ryanrussell9105@Splitown@DeathMetalV Exactly. Meanwhile it’s just that the paying wage isn’t equal to the living wage. No one is going to work $12 (in some states) or less an hr anymore.
My sweet cat, my companion Nomu suddenly passed today.
Truly, if there is a God you actually made a being worth feeling this pain I feel.
She was a beacon of love & comfort from a kitten to 9 years.
Thank you for spending your life with me.
I love you forever.
@vedseason@MsBreeBardi@AlexasUchiha@Jxxxxx024@michael_mrob13@Greal555 Oh, a big percentage are trying! The DOJ or whatever were deleting files on the government site of DJT (at the beginning of the Iran war) in the Epstein Files even though he’s mentioned and shown a lot in the documents. How the administration decide to keep him still baffles me.
