Your smart TV is watching you back. Not with a camera. With a feature most smart TVs ship with, and that most owners agree to during setup without reading a word.

That covers streaming apps, cable, your game console, even whatever is plugged into HDMI. The data can then be used for ads and recommendations. Texas sued 5 major TV makers over it. Samsung settled.
