United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Wikipedia has a smart meter entry that has this to say about privacy:


Smart meter power data usage patterns can reveal much more than how much power is being used. Research has been done which has demonstrated that smart meters sampling power levels at two-second intervals can reliably identify when different electrical devices are in use and even what channel or program is being viewed on a television based on the electrical consumption patterns of these devices and the electrical noises that they emit.

Researchers in Germany have concluded:

"...smart meters are able to become surveillance devices that monitor the behavior of the customers leading to unprecedented invasions of consumer privacy. "

As far back as 2009, a report on these issues was submitted to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.

Here is a study that proves that the data your smart meter collects can determine what show you are watching on your TV.
