If you connect you TV directly to the internet, that's on you at this point.
I get what you’re saying, and I accept that reality for most of us here who already understand these things. But blaming consumers for corporate surveillance is not a good way to get corporations to stop surveilling consumers.
Right it only makes people feed shame and then be quiet for "falling for a scam" that invaded their privacy and double down. We can argue about how when you get scammed you should talk about it etc, but that's how people operate. The others are just apathetic about privacy being dead.
