WaPo on smart TV monitoring.
Link. Via DF. Even worse than I had thought.
“When tracking is active, some TVs record and send out everything that crosses the pixels on your screen. It doesn’t matter whether the source is cable, an app, your DVD player or streaming box.”
Link. We are near our cable data cap each month.
“Roku (and similar boxes, and smart TVs) track you at the system level.”
Link. This is why you can’t buy a “dumb” TV. The smart TV is subsidized. Eventually they won’t work without a net connection.
