Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
sunbeam60@lemmy.one 1 month agoDid you actually read the article? They don’t upload screenshots; they recognise content and upload the identification of that content.

The blurb above says that the TVs uploads screenshots when viewing antenna and hdmi input sources, which is what most people are reacting to here. The actual article is paywalled.
However other articles go into more detail and note that only a few KB of data per hour is actually uploaded, so the TV must be doing image analysis locally and uploading metadata only.
