Georgia representative Marjorie Greene is evidently implying that she is being spied on.

Ah, aren’t we all? It seems as though we’re constantly on video camera surveillance every time we step into an indoor public space, and our faces are constantly on a camera. One could even argue companies involuntarily taking our data and selling it for advertising counts as spying as well. But not, that’s not what Greene is talking about.

She has apparently implied she’s being spied on via her television.

Martin Pengelly with The Guardian writes:

“…In a tweet on Sunday, the Republican from Georgia said: “Last night in my DC residence, the television turned on by itself and the screen showed someone’s laptop trying to connect to the TV.”

Greene also linked to a CBS News story entitled “Your smart TV might be spying on you, FBI warns”, a piece that linked to a 2019 warning about hacking and cybercriminals reported by TechCrunch.

Greene followed her tweet about her television with an altered image, Barack Obama’s portrait changed to show the 44th president looking through binoculars from behind lush green foliage…”
