Can you hear your neighbour's LG TV? Because it can hear you.

If the microphone is off, you have to be closer.

But they can still do it.

It's all demonstrated in their documentary.

So "don't plug it in hur hur hur" doesn't work. It only cuts out one node of _tens of millions_.

This isn't a problem that can be solved by being smarter than everyone else, because even if you _are_ smarter than everyone else, you're still smarter than _everyone else_, and they're all plugging their sets into the network. That is, after all, most likely _why_ they bought a smart TV. To do exactly that.

Like it or not, this requires _collective_ action.
