> You know what will never stop this? [...] Voting with your dollar (people who know what a privacy policy is are few and far between). I disagree. I think voting with your dollar works pretty well actually. Case-in-point: The recent uproar over the Xbox One's Kinect. The original plan called for the Kinect to be a required component and for the microphone to always be on. Thanks to consumer backlash, Microsoft backpedaled on the always-on requirement pretty quickly, and they've started selling Kinect-less Xbox Ones as well. Part of this is because Sony did an excellent job of capitalizing on these mis-steps with the PS4. Because there's no reason a competitor can't do the same against these smart TVs. You don't need customers to read the privacy policy; you just need to tell them that "the TV is telling Uncle Sam when you have sex."
