I asked every TV manufacturer 17 questions about how they spy on you

A journalist surveyed TV manufacturers with 17 direct questions about data collection practices, finding that all major TV companies collect user information—though some collection is optional and can be disabled. Companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Roku, and Samsung provided responses detailing their practices around audio recording, data storage, and ad targeting, while others like Hisense declined to participate, leaving consumers with limited transparency about privacy practices across the industry.
