Anyone, who doesn’t realize whatever we watch on cable
Or satellite is stored and used for marketing data or ? Is not living in reality
Our #1 younger tech weinie in our family, says that some of these smart TVs besides monitoring what we watch, can monitor what we say around them.

Samsung TV with voice activated command can 'hear you'.............
yes. the new tvs have an active mic that is sending out data. it can also pick up its location using a camera in the room and monitoring the power jitter as seen thru the fluctuations in your lights. this gives them the location within a block (maybe better these days)
