From a comment at the site:
If 30% of all Android phones were regularly connecting with Tor, the number of daily users of Tor in the US would be in the tens of millions. Tor actually reports 380k mean daily users in the US.
Something does not add up here.

Podgorski said that the first is awareness that there is a problem
I doubt very seriously it is a Problem as he describes, it sounds more like a Feature, intentionally built in to harvest data.

Our govt developed TOR in the first place. Is it any surprise that it is surreptitiously used against us.

Some TVs do have receivers for WiFi as well as signal tuners (A tuner is how it receives a TV signal). Mine has only WiFi--no signal tuner. I watch TV through my Roku device and we occasionally cast a show from a phone.
Don't get one that advertises the ability to Facetime/Portal/Alexa/etc with other people. That definitely has a transmitter that can possibly be controlled externally.
