I think most of the smart TVs are pretty scary in that regard. If/when we eventually upgrade, I'll be locking down our firewall for traffic sourced from the TV.

What's almost as bad is that most smart TVs have ads and "suggested content." WTF? I think there are a couple of TVs that you have the ability to turn that stuff off, but not most of them, and I think that includes some of the bigger brands.
