If a device is recording you and everyone around you,

And is sharing all this data with a corporation outside of your control,

It is not a "smart" device,
It is a spying device.

At the very least, you are ethically required to not inflict this surveillance upon others without prior explicit consent.

@Em0nM4stodon everything 'smart' is actually a computer.
Smartphone is a computer that can phone, smart TV is a computer on which you can watch TV, smart car is a computer on which one's built a car, and so on.

@hardtech But also dump phones and cars have computers. I would say the common feature of things marketed as "smart" is that they are a computer that someone else controls remotely.
