GDPR is forcing them to detail which private data they collect.

The US agreement says it too. They make you agree to them collecting it. It says they listen to everything that's said in the vicinity and you agree to inform any guests to your house that they're being recorded at all times. But nobody reads that.

I find deeply stupid to buy a tv that can potentially spy you but I am pretty sure they do it with phones also...

Every day I want to keep tech more fenced and far from me and only use it for what I need.

Is it disclosed on the box the TV comes in?

And if anyone didn’t watch GN’s video on it, it’s thousands of pages of text requiring a button press to scroll each. It’s designed for no one to read.

We should have laws that limit this kinda of “agreements”

		They should flat out be banned for consumer electronics and goods. It's insane that something you purchase can force a post purchase EULA before it can do anything. Imagine buying a shirt but there's a 10 page EULA that says you agree to arbitration as soon as you break the seal. Or a blender, or an oven, or a refrigerator. A lot of the "smart" electronics are in fact just that, they are sneaking in EULAs to use an app to connect to the device which robs you of your rights and protections as a consumer "Oh, the law says we have to give a 10 year warranty, but unfortunately you installed our app to work with your device which says you agree to forgo the warranty and pay us for the right to sue".

		The GDPR does. Consent to data processing must be unambiguous, accessible, informed in plain language with no legal or technical jargon, and not have any preselected boxes. https://gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requirements/ The problem is the capacity to litigate is far surpassed by the world's speed and volume of doing bad. This is a case where companies' actions should be treated like parking tickets: a fine is issued summarily, with option to appeal, not a slow process of litigation having to happen before a fine is issued.

yeah, but if you want to know you can. and it isn't that everybody needs to analyze it.
