Vizio did this without warning customers. Wondered why your FB ads were so weirdly good? Probably your stolen data.

As if it could get any worse, Vizio even quietly installed the tracking update on old TVs. Insane.

If you have an internet tv: 📵 disconnect it 🚯 block internet access 🗑 maybe just throw it away (If it's a vizio just burn it)

This is why I'll never give my wifi pass phrase to a television. Wish I could just buy a monitor. No need for anything else.

and don't forget that you can turn it off, but the tv still dials home for updates periodically. And turns the shit back on

Mine is old enough not to have any Internet - very glad I don't need to replace it!
