I'd do that too if I had one and will never buy one of course now I know. It is all very well to have the technical ability to do this but it should only be an opt in system. That they expect people to actually pay thousands of dollars/pounds to have Samsung's (and others for sure) uninvited trespassing entity sneak into people's homes and family life says how contemptuous of us they are. And of course they would have no trouble selling all this valuable data and even handing it over for free if asked by the wrong authority. No doubt their lawyers have already set it up that you 'give Samsung permission' when you purchase and operate their tv or at least have exempted them from any liability from their use of your data.

I own Samsung TV's and am off to do exactly this now. I'll never buy another one again.
