Thanks for sharing. Because I'm so engrossed in the IoT world I never really thought of the ability to opt out of connected devices. Especially if devices use cellular (hard to opt out) instead of Wifi (Easier to opt out).
I disagree with the author because I think there are legitimate reasons for devices to connect to networks. For example Tesla cars can get better over time. TVs can do updates to fix bugs and new functionality.
But the down side is the opportunity of spying and monitoring the user.
For example what happens if your Washing Machine stopped working because a bad manufacturer decided to stop it over cellular?
