|Smart TVs of multiple brands have a feature called Automatic Content Recognition, which sends several screenshots per minute of whatever plays on the device to the manufacturer for analysis. This includes content from external inputs and thus could include private photos and videos of the user, as well as third parties who never agreed to anything of that nature. This is required to be opt-in in the US, but most people inadvertently agree to it with the EULA of the device. | |Smart TVs of multiple brands have a feature called Automatic Content Recognition, which sends several screenshots per minute of whatever plays on the device to the manufacturer for analysis.

This excessively long cancellation window, combined with the requirement for written notice (rather than allowing cancellations through the same platform used for sign-up), creates a high risk of unintended charges. If users fail to meet these stringent requirements, TeamViewer bills the full annual subscription fee without further warning | |||

|This is case of "software tethering". Embodied's $799 companion robot Moxie permanently shut down once the company decided to shut down cloud services.

Our Terms of Service specify that services may be terminated at any time without prior notice." | |||
