#4 Samung reveals potential for smart TVs to eavesdrop

I believe that this isn't a very significant problem but it can be a problem determining the circumstances. If the TV hears conversation in the average household then it really isn't a big deal because that information is usually pointless but it can be a problem if that household is giving information to others that is strictly private and about email or banking information. Also this can be a huge problem if say there is a SmartTV located in a governmental office or a meeting room because then the third party could find out crazy information that is very private and secreted.
