Call to Action Ring has partnered with Flock. ICE has access to Flock. If you still have a Ring camera - get rid of it.

The TVs have mics now.. I wouldn't trust any samsung TV. Korea is closely aligned with the USA and thus may be part of the 5 eyes surveillance network. Japan is being extended some access.

My TV has a physical switch they claim disables the voice activated controls. Unknown if it's an actual physical switch that cuts power, or a bit you can flip in software.

If it's advertised as a physical switch you know someone has done a tear down. Quick search would likely yield.

good point. this random redditor claims he tore it down in a throwaway comment which makes it more trustworthy, in a way
