I want to buy 2 tvs that can support Alex or goggle home, I would like to know if Sony Android tvs support are supported as this will influence my purchase?
Hi there
You do know that the CIA, NSA, GCHQ etc can use these 'always-on' listening devices to spy on you in your own home? The Samsung F8000 was hacked by the CIA and GCHQ under a program called "weeping angel". It would certainly not be difficult for them to adapt and implement this into Amazon Echo/Google Home
Either way, see these two threads on this forum:

Aww.. So that's why the batteries didn't last two months after I bought the television. I want the British and USA governments paying for all the batteries I wasted! We should do a class action!
More seriously, don't they have anything better to do with the tax payers money, like.. I don't know.. catching the real terrorists before they attack? Especially since 9 out of 10 they know their names already.
Anyway, back on topic.. Which Google Home are we talking about, in here? The one that gets activated when we press the mic button? Or the mobile app to support Googlecast? What's called the main screen in Android TV (the one with all the useless featured apps, which honestly I believe the EU antitrust should force Google to remove)? At the beginning I thought that was the Google Home.

Apparently they have nothing better to do
Although whoever controls the data/information has power. Truth be told, im sure that there are 'acceptable losses' in regards to the 'war on terror' in small 'single man' attacks. As everytime something happens, we seem to loose a little more of our 'freedoms' under the guise of preventing a terrorist attack. Look how quick the Tories were (via Amber Rudd) to push their agenda on 'end-to-end' encrypted apps such as Whatsapp after the London issue a couple of weeks back.
Indeed. Exactly my point, my friend, exactly my point..
