I'm so p'd I don't even know which heading to use. Maybe Deep state, or this one.
Just like yesterday evening i had dinner, took a little walk, then turned on the tv to watch another episode of Star Trek next gen as I drift off to sleep. This is normal for me during a busy week. I've done this several hundred.. times because it works and helps me get to sleep and renew for the next day.
When I go to the channel that get's me to Paramount+ it asks me"Who's watching? I answer the same way every time: Me. It lists other choices like Children. Of course there are none here and it's STNG so it's rated pg at worst so who cares.
So tonight I do the same thing as always but I get a prompt that says to enter my full name and image. Huh? That's facial recognition! Just to turn on a Samsung(smart)tv I have to get biometrically tracked? This isn't right.
If it happens again tomorrow night I'll cancel my subscription and go back to reading. There are plenty of places where I can get news, watch tv, etc without being tracked. Xfinity made a serious mistake.
