LOL, it’s literally in their TOS that it’s the TV owner’s responsibility to inform others that their voice may be recorded by their TV, and when somebody goes on youtube and informs everybody that their voice may be recorded they freak out.
Yeah, and companies aren’t notorious for burying heinous shit like this in their TOS so that when they get caught doing it, some idiot will jump up to say “ItS iN tHeIr ToS”
That’s such nonsense. We really need some sort of “reasonable person” standard for terms of service. It’s common knowledge people don’t read them, so companies feel free to insert whatever bullshit they want because why not?
Unless you’re advertising your TV’s ability to listen to conversations, putting an expectation on me to tell people the walls are listening is not reasonable.
Subscribing to Disney plus does not mean I agree to arbitration if your negligence kills someone at a theme park.
I should not be entered into a one sided irrevocable contract because I bought a TV and plugged it in.

Normalizing this kind of thing is not okay. It doesn’t matter if its in the TOS, it shouldn’t be a technology in the first place.
