I have also bought an Amazon Echo, but I unplug it when it's out of use for extended periods of time.

I was given a Google Home for Christmas, and won't even take it out of the box. I'd give it away, but that not really solving the problem.

I've never purchased a Smart TV that contains a microphone.

My LG has one in the remote control. But I disallowed the TV from my home wifi about a year ago. I don't trust LG, and looking through the 53 screens of Terms of Service LG thinks need to agree to just to watch TV, I probably did the right thing.

This implies that your moral judgement must apply to whoever you gave it to. Why?
