Some TVs secretly include a modem and SIM card, to make sure they get your personal data back to their masters.
Every company in the world is coming after your privacy. How far are you willing to defend it?

To test my privacy I us a decoy! I play porn from Hunters laptop in a loop overnight. There are so many reasons it should be reported!
So far no problems.

That’s a pretty wild accusation to make without naming even a single brand or model…

This is clearly true though.

I was sure I had seen an example of someone revealing this several years ago, but I can't find the article again, so it's probably misinformation. I'm sorry for repeating it.
There are definitely "spy" TVs modified by state security groups that do this, but that's not what I was claiming.

I believed this for a time, but now I believe it is an urban legend. Granted a plausible one, and one that might be true in the future... but not true as of yet.

Give us a single make/model that does this.

Which TVs? This is a major expense for a product with rapidly depreciating costs and intense competition, all to do something illegal/immoral?
Mozilla is an activist company, that wants to censor, and punish some groups of people. I am not going to give them access to my passwords, documents and emails, and play some stupid game of cat & mouse with firewall rules!
TV manufacturers can get away with such practices, because TVs are sold on deep discounts, and is easy to block network access (never plug ethernet). Browser has tons of free competition, and it is impossible to block network access!
