Default Do you own a Smart TV?

After reading this I don't think I'll be buying one.
Am I being overly paranoid?
Sorry, the link won't post but the story is on Yahoo.

Man who owns a smart TV says he*€™s *€˜afraid*€™ of using it after reading its privacy policy - Yahoo News

Nothing really new... This has been an issue for a couple of years (at least 2012) and likely longer than that. Not to worry, as your ISP has been selling your user data for much longer than that anyway.

Sure... smart TV, AppleTV, cable box, Netflix... Probably reporting to the NSA right now that I just finished watching Pompeii. I also subscribe to iTunes match so Apple can regularly scan my computer for media. And my iPhone tracks my location wherever I go, pulls all my contacts and personal stuff into iCloud. But the most troubling thing is that the ad at the top of the page here knows where I have been on the Net... you too.

Yes to all of the above and then some. If they want to track me. Fine. I salute them. Not using all four fingers & thumb though.
