Isn’t this a thing for all providers? YouTube definitely spies on what you look at and Netflix knows as well. Or is this just because a TV actually doesn’t provide the content, just the view? And is there’s a difference if you have a streaming device like Roku?

Hello Texas!

What about cars? Tesla, in particular does record an awful lot of personal data about you...

“How many times is he gonna watch that Kathy Ireland swimsuit special for 2-3 minutes?”

“X + 1”

I hope they’re enjoying the video footage.

Sincerely, for anyone technical competent, I don't even see the reason to connect your TV to the internet (or even the local network).

I do have a smart TV, but I have no use for it since my NVIDIA Shield does all the lifting.

A good enough android TV dongle will cost €30. So...

Wiretapping laws should apply; you could have an HDMI capture card hooked up to camera with mic etc.

The sheer amount of compute spent on advertising on this planet boggles my mind.

Any good options for wifi/wire gateway (opensource) that can filter and block spying?

Thanks, Texas.

I remember a time when the word "smart" referred to a high level of intelligence. Rather than a marketing ploy aimed at the innocent.

Maybe I'm a little slow, but assuming that everything I watch on TV is copyrighted content, wouldn't that make every screen-grab a DRM violation?
