Dear lord what a dumbass. You and everyone else carries around the spy device by choice, all day every day. I’m using it to type this comment. You’re using it to read this comment. The thing has multiple cameras and microphones and is 100% listening to and watching everything we say or do. It’s your phone, if that’s not obvious by now.

Paranoia is surely a common mental health issue linked to hate-based ideologies

I mean, she’s an idiot but she’s not entirely wrong either: Modern TVs try to collect all sorts of data on us, it’s why smart TVs are cheaper than commercial displays with no smart features

If it’s a smart TV, she’s right, just not for the reasons she thinks. The TV collects data and uses that for advertising. If it has a microphone or camera, that’s also a potential vector for attack, but I don’t think she’s interesting enough to spy on.
