Have you bought a new TV, media streamer, or game console in the past few years, or plan to buy one in the near future? Hope you enjoy having your usage data linked to your IP address and served to advertisers!

As usual, though, Apple stands out as the most pro-privacy vendor.

>This policy stands in stark contrast to all the others here. Apple collects next to nothing and anonymizes all of it.
So how's that weekend Netflix binge coming along, /g/?
I literally don't care.

My god OP.. did someone force these poor people to connect their televisions to the internet??
This is really why working data mining opt-outs should become obligatory by law.
This way people that bother to change settings and keep enjoying privacy and advertisers can get rich off the stupid and lazy.

>served to advertisers
are you not using some kind of adblock?
>>51970472
Silly me, I didn't know I could install Adblock on a Roku or Xbox One.
>>51970499
>Roku
lol
>ads on XBONE
really? Did not know this.
Do they appear during games?
>>51970524
Not necessarily in-game, but the Xbox and PlayStation OS dashboards have carried ads for some years now.

>staring at the dashboard for more than 1 second
so you turn on your xbone and stare at the dashboard for hours instead of playing games or watching videos?
still don't see how >>51970375 is an issue
I don't care if Amazon knows I watch weird amounts of Alchestbreach videos on Youtube, watched Glengarry Glenross last week, and routinely watch gritty exploitation movies.
>Apple
>Pro-privacy
Ayy lmao, only on the outside in the media attention, inside they are pretty much the worse.

They usually implement their backdoors as "bugs" so legally no one can do shit to them.

Got any examples that aren't old and irrelevant?
>>51970444
This. If they just included opt-outs deep in the system settings 99.99% of users wouldn't change it but no one could be angry at them for collecting data anymore.

Fucking retard, every backdoor is exposed months if not years after it was initially deployed, right now there is uknown backdoors in there just like every year at apple that will make news months ahead of now.
Your credit card data leaked from apple store? Apple.
Your private pictures exposed by weak icloud security? Apple.
Your encrypted connection being bypassed by some coding "bug"? Apple.
Screencap this, in 2016 there will be a reveal of a security issue that was just "a bug" while they used that for months or years to spy on targets/users.
