............them to a third party. Wow this after we learn cars are vulnerable to wireless hacking. Scary!
Shane Harris of The Daily Beast noticed last week that the Smart TV's privacy policy includes the following clause: "Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition."
The company confirmed that the feature does send voice control requests to a third party, which then searches for results and returns them to the user's device. Samsung doesn't store or sell the voice data, she said.
a bunch of people. But now it is out

it to be activated even if you haven't specifically turned it on. They further state that any data gathered and transmitted can not be used to bring suit against MS, and they are not liable for that data being used by themselves or any third party.
Only sure way to avoid the risk is to not have the device in your home. But if you have one, then at least unplug the power supply when not using - that way it can only transmit what you (somewhat) knowingly provide it.
Note that third party can refer to anyone besides you and MS. This legal angle has been used by law enforcement in other telecom areas such as phone calls, emails, and texts to gain access to information through use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). In these actions, the FISA has a very low burden for a search warrant and also includes a gag order such that when the warrant is served it can't be discussed. So if you have a Kinect then law enforcement has relatively free rein toward a camera and microphone in your house without you knowing. Congrats!
Americans are already lazy enough with out "smart entertainment"
