> If you want a camera for your TV

I guess large swaths of people never actually read 1984.

Oh I did.

So you think having a camera on the TV is worse than having a device with a camera and a bunch of others sensors with you at all times?

Orwell couldn't imagine a portable device, so obviously it's the TVs with cameras that are bad... not any of the actual devices used for mass survelliance.

What makes you think I think that's worse than a phone?

Being weary of TVs with cameras does not proclude me from beating weary of phones. I very much am.

I would actually love a good raspberry pi/webcam setup in my living room for comfy video calls. Sadly I don’t trust any of the standard commercial offerings (smart tvs are the least trustworthy devices I know; home assistants and Facebook devices don’t even count as devices since they’re pure spyware).
