Easy enough fix: Don’t buy a smart TV...

Do what I did. Pay to have your old flat screen repaired. Often times it just requires replacement of the power converter.

just don't hook it up to the internet.

Cover the camera with opaque material. Is that doable?

I suppose you could unplug it when not in use.

Don't worry.
It's not like Obama is on 24/7.
It just seems that way sometimes.

So why get it? There are plenty of “dumb TV” options available.

My smart tv is wi-fi compatible, that’s how I watch Netflix. Fortunately, it is an earlier generation, so it doesn’t have the camera or microphone in it.
That I am aware of...

No problem, if you don’t mind watching TV wearing a Prince Obie Halloween mask...

Correct. Just don’t set up the TV to be connected to the Internet. If you don’t enter in network or wireless settings, it just becomes a “dumb” TV with “smart” features that are disabled.

If we required private companies to pay us for the information that would stop one set of abuses.
Then all we need is a fourth amendment of the Constitution to take care of the rest of the abuses.
Oh, yeah, we already have that. What we need is courts that enforce it.
