Ashotep Posted December 17, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Several years ago I told some people just wait they'll be watching you or listening to your conversation through your TV and they thought I was an idiot or conspiracy theorist.

JesseCuster Posted December 17, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) I don't know if my TV is watching me (it's a dumb TV with no camera or mics so not likely), but I'm paranoid enough to keep the web cam on my laptop and desktop covered up with black tape when I'm not Skypeing.
