I have two smart tvs. One is my gamer monitor, it doesnt get internet, and doesnt even have the correct time. The other one pretty much only plays youtube music, it replaced my old stereo.
I don't think they are getting much info from me.

My cell, on the other hand, there's only so much of it you can disable before it becomes unusable. And you have to use it. The spyware is the platform. In both cases.
