      doesn’t matter what you think when it’s not relevant. not every internet connected device is sending personal data of it’s user to google or any other adspace reseller.

        Well the here’s a short piece describing privacy concerns. I’ve read articles about such problems associated with Internet connected TVs, set top boxes, speakers, doorbells, lightbulbs, etc. I don’t have the time or inclination to find sources on all of them. But I think any device that’s connected to the Internet it hasn’t been revealed to be leaking data then it’s just really good at hiding how it leaks your data.
