A fine is not enough. The Vizio board of directors should have to do
jail time for this one!

Time to very your habits or move to an area not so well monitored
or get a fantastic firewall where only what you allow goes out.
Best do all three!! :-))))

If you don't want to be tracked you better sell your PC, your cell
phone, your credit cards and your toll transponders. Then it will
mostly just be the government and people with access to those records.
Most are public information.

Often, it's NOT a matter of "what you are hiding" but of what they make
up to go with the bits of information they stole.

While I don't care for my computer spewing targeted ads, it is well

I guess you would not want a Nielsen box on your TV either. :-)
As far as I am concerned, just knowing what I watch on TV is not all
that intrusive and collecting this information has been going on for a
long time. Cable/satellite companies can have it if they want it and
TiVo brags about it.
When your TV turns on the audio capture and front side camera it is
disturbing but I would not own one of those anyway. I also have an
Amazon Echo sitting here that has never been out of the shrink wrap.

Besides, little people don't deserve privacy. It's important for corporations to know their every move. Maybe the corporate overlords will get the HIPAA law repealed as well?

That one is easy, I just have a flip phone and it is turned off about
99% of the time. I use about 20 minutes a year in the 4 or 5 times a
year I turn it on and carry it. I have no need to be in constant
communication with anyone since I retired (20 years ago).
When I was working I had a beeper and then around 1985 I had a
portable hand held RF texting device/computer terminal, when
"Blackberry" was still a sticker bush with edible fruit on it. I was
happy to give that all away.

The best I can tell they were just recording your viewing habits. That
is what TiVo uses as a selling point and what Nielsen does for a

than actually spying on you.

I'm presently looking for a new tv. Vizio is off the list. That is a
sleazy way to do business.

I have had a Vizio smart TV since mid-November. It has not been
connected to the internet even once. I use it to watch TV.

I guess you would not want a Nielsen box on your TV either. :-)

I've never been sent one, but several times I've gotten their TV
diaries. I don't even try to fill those out anymore. One reason is I
use a DVR, so about 99.5% of what I watch wasn't "on" at the same time.

"On January 2 at 9:37 AM to 9:59 AM and at 6:22 PM to 6:57 PM I watched
a 1 hour show that was originally on SyFy at 2AM on December 21,
skipping 2 commercials that were too offensive and 1 that was really
boring.". How would I put THAT in that diary, even if I remembered all
those details.

BTW, I'm still watching Christmas movies.

Besides, little people don't deserve privacy. It's important for
corporations to know their every move. Maybe the corporate overlords
will get the HIPAA law repealed as well?

God bless the capitalists of the United States of America. Cha-ching!

There is also the requirement to have a camera in every bathroom so the
TSA (Toilet Safety Administration) agents can make sure you use the
toilet safely.

When you were using your RTV you never saw the commercials anyway and
that really what they were selling '-)

That
is what TiVo uses as a selling point and what Nielsen does for a
living. It really has more to do with how much they can sell ads for
than actually spying on you.


Walmart has them on special, just for you

Ok, I admit it, I have no clue as to what's going on. How come all
these Walmart addresses are so funny?
