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

> Every company in the world is coming after your privacy.

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.
