I don't know. It doesn't make much sense, since there are tons of products in the US from China that could get people's data and/or monitor them if they wanted to.
Some smart TVs have cameras in them (facing the people watching TV). Some people don't even know their TVs have cameras in them. Even if they do know, it's probably recording them when they don't realize it.

I did put a piece of tape over the camera on my computer.
I dunno how watching any of us common folk can be that exciting for them.

And good point of how we have products from China they could use to spy on.
Like Apple electronics.
How come clowngress is not suspecting and going ape over that instead?

We're already spied on by our own government, and worse, corporations. Why would I give a **** if the Chinese are?

Do you cover your device's camera (when you know you won't be using it)?

Nope.

Do you ever wonder if that's a two-way mirror in the dressing room and someone's watching you?

I don't think anyone wants to see that, and if they do, thanks or that's what you get for spying on me.

Supposedly they sometimes watch to make sure people don't steal.

It would be so easy to steal in some of these dressing rooms. Like the ones that are always unattended. Target is like that on and off, but JC Penney here is really bad.

I remember seeing a video a while back, where three women walked into a Kohl's store and just stole a bunch of men's underwear and walked out with it.

I remember Hot Topic being easy to steal from back in the 00's. They let you go behind the counter where all the spiky and studded belts and studded belts and stuff were. I didn't, but had friends who did.

I've wondered how much is stolen from stores that have items for sale in displays outside the stores. It seems like people could just take items and walk away.
