For reference, Samsung screenshots everything shown on their televisions at regular intervals and sends these to their South Korean data centres for advertisers to use. It's called Automatic Content Recognition (ACR), which any sane country should be outright banning under international espionage laws.

I give no screen a network connection.

Screens are for playing what I send to them. Not for running their own apps or network traffic.

I would pay more for dumb screen TVs.
