Of course they are. But it's interesting that you and I care about who phones back home - why do we trust Roku more than Vizio? Is it that it feels "unnatural" for an existing object like a TV to change the relationship?
And of course, most people actually don't care about this.
- rdtsc 11y agoThat is a good point, I have Roku as well in another room (connected to a "dumb" older TV). And yeah, I trust Roku more. And I trust Google -- I have a Gmail. Heck old work trusted Google with their internal discussion and files! Thinking about it, I guess I made a (perhaps bad) bargain -- you can have my data if you give me something useful and working that I want back. Roku works and gives me something useful, working apps and I expected I had to do it when I bought it. Google gives me Gmail, so it can spy on me. Vizio gave me a TV, but I paid for it, and I didn't expect that it would need an invasive home phoning agreement to be usable.
