Cool functions should not cover up sneaky data collection.

Sneaky data collection turns cool gadgets into tools that work against you.

My old smart TV felt like it was spying on my bad taste.

Yeah I totally get that feeling, like it's judging your late night reality TV binge. What I ended up doing was just disconnecting my TV from the internet completely and plugged in a basic streaming stick instead. Now the dumb TV can't send anything back, and all the tracking is limited to the stick's account, which feels a bit easier to manage.
