The illegal privacy violations 'smart TV features' are way, way worse than you probably think. I'd encourage everyone to read up on it and, if you have a smart TV, educate yourself on how to turn off ACR and/or make it a habit of unplugging your TV when you don't use it.

I also made a video on it for my YT channel, if anyone wants to learn more.

    My first thought was, "Well, just don't buy a TV with those features," but that's becoming increasingly hard to do.

    It's not hard to just not buy things.

    It's not hard to not leave your home, either, yet most people do it every day.
