New tv’s and the permissions they ask for.

Am I too paranoid about all the permissions these things ask for? I don’t want to use things like voice recognition and stuff, but it limits the what the tv can do (like Netflix access) without approval. It wants to do Samsung’s version of Siri or Alexa. Just makes me uncomfortable that these things are so advanced. Sort of a rant, but what do you guys and ladies think? Thanks!

Alexa can record your conversations and send them to anybody or everybody in your email list without notifying you...

I heard that on the news radio a couple of months ago...
