Data mining has become the excuse for ever increasing intrusions into your world.
While a lot of the spying centers on national security, commercial interests looking at your viewing and buying habits also are very much in the game, even using the ubiquitous family television.
A man has discovered his family's new LG television was spying after he started noticing targeted ads showing up. He was clever enough to start monitoring what his TV was up to and its scary.
Especially vulnerable are sets linked directly to the Internet. Can you go to Best Buy and specify you want a TV that doesn't spy on you ?
Probably not....your buying decision is being monitored too.
