All smart TVs, from LG and Samsung to Sony and Roku, actively spy on you. They use Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) to capture audio and video not just from built-in apps but also from anything plugged in via HDMI. This means your viewing habits, including games and home movies, are regularly sent to manufacturers and data brokers. Opting out is complicated and sometimes disables smart features. Your TV is watching more than you think. #cheaptv #SmartTV #DataCollection
