    Removing the microphone from a smart TV remote does little to prevent corporations from tracking everything else you do. Why not just get rid of the smart TV?

      All the tracking and analytics are what enable them to sell TVs for lower prices. If you want a commercial display you can buy one, but it will cost a lot more than a regular smart TV with the same display. I vote for buying the cheap TV and gutting the tracking features to screw over the corpos who are getting their profit from invading peoples’ privacy.
