Your TV Is Spying On You (www.ludlowinstitute.org)

You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.

Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

Welcome to the future of "entertainment."

Is it adding to discussions or just posturing? Much like heavy's comment was about their issues, Lost_My_Mind's was also about their own situation. Why is the latter acceptable and the former not?

My assumption is not because it promotes discussion, but because it's something that's more people emotionally agree with.

Yeah it contributes to the discussion with the simple solution on how not to be spied on by your TV, in an admittedly patronising way.
