„German Consumer Protection Agencies warn about the undesired
data collection from television
receivers, which are connected to
the Internet. Many smart TV devices are set
up from the factory
that the first time the device is turned on, it already
sends data
about the viewer to the manufacturer and while watching television,
which are passed on the TV station or other corporations.
Thereby the
receivers of the data can find out the viewing
habits of the user and Internet
preferences, and establish
profiles and personal interests of the user.”

I think it is
high time, to bring the TV device
to where it belongs: Special Recycling!
