Don't say that in front of the TV

Apparently, if you talk while your Samsung smart TV is being controlled through voice activation then more than just your commands may be sent to Samsung or third parties.

Quote:

Samsung is warning customers about discussing personal information in front of their smart television set. The warning applies to TV viewers who control their Samsung Smart TV using its voice activation feature. When the feature is active, such TV sets "listen" to what is said and may share what they hear with Samsung or third parties, it said. Privacy campaigners said the technology smacked of the telescreens, in George Orwell's 1984, which spied on citizens.
