I really do not know why you (and other commenters later) place such great faith in the add on devices, Roku in particular.
Just from a couple months ago: "And that’s where streaming TV company Roku comes in. Today, the company is introducing a new measurement suite called Roku Ad Insights that lets brands and agencies measure how effective their marketing is on OTT in four ways."
You really should assume that any app you run on any device is gathering data about what you are doing. Could be used in house and/or sold to third parties.
- Qub3d 9y agoI run my Roku TV behind a super-duper locked down VLAN because of this. I wish I didn't have to, and I no longer recommend them because of the things you've mentioned.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoWhen you see that Roku announcement, you can unplug the Roku from the TV and replace it with something different.
- kstrauser 9y agoI said that I don't. I definitely mistrust them less than I mistrust any given TV manufacturer, though.
