    Idk how we fix it.

    Simple. Don’t buy a TCL television. If you do have one, or any other brand of “smart” TV then for gods sake do NOT connect it to the internet.

      And even then, there have been smart TVs caught sniffing for same brand devices and open networks to connect to the web.

          I’m only getting trash results now but there was an entire discussion on one of lemmys communities about tech safety and privacy and one user went into a lot of detail and provided articles on it.
