Discuss the growing concern over data collection by smart TVs and streaming services. A report by the Center for Digital Democracy (CDD) argues that the streaming industry has created a "surveillance system" that tracks viewers in unprecedented ways, posing significant privacy risks. The report calls for stronger regulations to protect consumer data, particularly regarding the use of generative AI in targeted advertising, which could personalize ads based on viewers' demographics and interests. The report also expresses concern about the potential for discrimination and political manipulation through data collection practices. Many Reddit users agree with the CDD’s concerns and discuss strategies for limiting data collection, including using non-smart TVs, disabling internet connectivity, and using ad blockers.
