Your smart TV can do many great things, but this isn't one of them.

Smart TVs with an internet connection: Lets grab screenshots and send them to cooperate analysis advertisement department.

Unfortunately, many have already gone “smart” in some capacity - which for me means doing anything I have not expressly allowed it to do. A relatively harmless example is my monitor sometimes deciding it needs to do “OLED protect” - and I cannot stop it from doing that sometimes. At least the idea behind that behaviour is legit (preventing burn-ins) - but ignoring the user’s wishes absolutely not. A clanker that is my property will never get to tell me what it wants to do.
