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)

I have a dumb vizio TV, but I'm still concerned. Should I be, @VIZIO ?

This is part of why I advise people to get media servers instead of internet TVs. Less expensive & more control.
Replying to @internetofshit
never connect a smart tv to the internet, use separate devices to do that.

If you have a TV with an ethernet connection, why the fuck did you plug it in?
Replying to @internetofshit
that is, is it still safe to use if the only cords going into it are power & HDMI?

If you use a TV at all, you might have missed a thing or two in mankind's cultural history. #2017
