Why exactly am I supposed to care that my TV takes data about what I watch and aggregates it and sends it to ad companies? Every other device I use does that, and I'm not trying to keep it a secret I'm rewatching the Sopranos for a third time. And if it really bothers you that much for some reason you can just not connect your TV to the internet. Biggest non-issue ever.
also I'm trans, if that makes any difference
i'm trans and i would never use a botnet tv

1 day the right type of government will come in that will use this technology to see if you're watching right-wing propaganda clips and they will come and arrest your a** until then keep being a f****** boy
>>109944128doesnt even need to be explicitly open networks. modems now have this feature on them that lets other people connect to use it to service data specifically like this. its promoted under the guise of extending "mobile coverage" but in actuality its likely a lot more valuable for getting metrics off people who dont want to connect.
You're complaining on an imageboard that uses Cloudflare and Spur.us.
