Comment on Samsung warns customers that Smart TVs are always listening (2015)parent

Comments

When many smart tv's display adverts and commercial apps, you could argue that the smart feature is subsidising the TV.

Good point.

The point I was trying to make was that from a market efficiency perspective, this kind of thing should not be a problem.

So it might be more expensive to remove the feature altogether, including the advertising revenue it would generate. Such is the cost of privacy, apparently.

So TV's nagging to have a connection setup is something we can look forward to then?
