An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.

I assume any device with such a capability is doing so until proven otherwise.

Google been caught time and time again adding anti consume features and enabling by default with some obscure optout mechanism either added later or only after been caught.

At this point the burden of proof is on them.
