Maybe they are soft-killing him (AKA making him live longer).

One way or the other, I think the Govt is truly starting to lose their Monopoly of Belief.
Alex Jones inst perfect. He is human. Im not perfect either. So when people challenge the ideas I propose without emotionally attacking me as individual, I actually really appreciate it! The reason for this is that an effort is being made to critically think about the idea itself without shooting the messenger. And Alex Jones is a Messenger just as Ron Paul is a Messenger and Jesse Ventura is a Messenger.
There is another side to this coin. In the movie V for Vendetta, owning a copy of the Kuran was "Illegal". The people that enforce the Monopoly of Violence when the Monopoly of Belief is challenged are those who do not critically think and blindly accept what they are told without challenging those ideas. Kuran = Evil, thus they kick in the guys door and killed him. What happens when the reason your front door is getting kicked in is because of yoru Orwellian TV Sets? Surveillance is only going to grow in scope and scale. Internet Lightbulbs. Internet Toasters. Internet Can Openers. Eventually, with Internet over Power Lines, you wont even have to supply the Internet itsef as the Power Lines become the means of Internet. After all, what would all of the Smart Meters be used for? Oh, Power over Internet. Total Surveillance. And when they finally achieve total surveillace over every aspect of your life and get you to buy the cameras in your house through which they conduct their surveillance, it ALL becomes subject to approval. AI is basically here, right now. Your thoughts and actions will be processed through a behavioural algorithm, and you will be held accountable for deviations of their Monopoly of Belief to be applied by either their Monopoly of Violence or Monopoly of Money, or both.

While the privacy policy statement is disturbing in its own right, the extent of how creepy it is has to do with the fact that this information will be shared with a “third party.” This begs the question, who is this third party? Corynne McSherry, the intellectual property director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, has some thoughts. From the Daily Beast:
[...]
After reading this, I have two concerns. First, there’s the point outlined by McSherry about the vulnerability to hackers. So even if we can be assured that Samsung and the third party isn’t up to anything nasty, is the entire process secure enough to protect ourselves from hackers, or an intelligence agency like the NSA? I have my doubts.
Beyond this, there is an equally important concern regarding how this trend might progress into the future, and how it will future erode personal privacy if we don’t address it now.
[...]
Now back to the original Daily Beast article for some more thoughts on the matter…
This is my key concern. Although it might be completely benign right now, that in no way, shape or form means it will remain that way. In fact, once everyone is hooked on SmartTVs and forgets about this whole hubbub, these companies could eagerly turn around and sell all of your private conversation details to advertisers or worse. By then, it might be too late for you to let go.Samsung’s privacy policy notes that in addition to voice commands being transmitted, information about your device, “including device identifiers,” may also be beamed over the Internet to the third-party service, “or to the extent necessary to provide Voice Recognition features to you.”
McSherry called that bit of qualifying language “worrisome.”
“Samsung may just be giving itself some wiggle room as the service evolves, but that language could be interpreted pretty broadly,” she said.
Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

The day long feared has arrived. Samsung warns customers to be careful what they say in the vicinity of their “smart” TVs. And we’re just supposed to lie back and enjoy it now that the loss of privacy is “inevitable.”And and the statist hacks, dupes and tools will still sayIn many cases, it was going to be impossible to avoid surrendering private information, Prof Stewart said. "Many more ordinary services like locate-your-friends and car tracking to reduce insurance costs do involve some intrinsic loss of privacy," he said.
While most people realised this and were happy to lose a little privacy in return for a material benefit, far fewer realised that the privacy loss was "progressive" and would lead to steadily greater intrusions, he said.

All of the programs you're referencing are opt-in, private party, free market programs.
If you choose to opt in to them, then you choose to allow that private company access to data. It's no different from using any maps / directions software or website. You are choosing to give that company your starting and ending locations. If you object to their use of that information, don't use their service.

Yeah, like cell phones, computers, and mail... Those things NEVER get turned over to the government... It's only private parties, and free market $#@!...
Listen, I understand that we have a lot of catching up to do with caveat emptor. We have been lulled into believing that the digital world is a one-way street - we can access it without it accessing us. Totally, not true. Anytime you open the window (like we all do) you are letting people in. And many of those people have nefarious purposes. And none can be more nefarious than our government.
However, there is a coming industry that will allow people to look thru the window without exposing themselves. Most of it will come with throwing so much noise out there that any data gathered will be useless. In the meantime... If you use connected technology, understand that it is using you, too. To me, there's nothing so scary about it if you approach it in this manner.

This is not something people are going to be successful at fighting against, not in the long term. That effort is better spent on education- in this case, a good start would be to study things like digital circuits and network protocols. If your TV is doing something you don't want it to do, you should have the knowledge and skills to void the warranty with confidence and make it stop.
Update: Samsung smart TVs inserting ads into third-party apps

People with smart TVs from Samsung have been complaining that the electronics maker is inserting Pepsi ads during the playback of their own, locally stored movies.

Just get in the habit of saying very positive things about the great government we have, when you're in front of the TV. Then you should be fine.

Oh shut up.
It's not some "giant conspiracy oOOOoooohhh".
It's fact, the surveillance grid is expanding every day and the "internet of things" will greatly increase this expansion.
The only reason it was put in the manual is to try and protect against lawsuits, when somebody ultimately gets harmed by this device recording what was thought to be private conversations.
