I'm getting too many "hur hur hur don't plug it into the network" responses that miss the point.

That's fine for your set.

It's not fine for all the other tens of millions of sets around you, _which also listen to you_.

These sets spy on every network they can sense, wifi and LAN, including yours to one degree or another if you live next door. They build profiles and geolocate, even if you never owned one, even if you never shared a network with one.

And if you _did_ share a network with one of these sets, they have IDed every network device you have and started building profiles around them.
