Do you or anyone else know if there are any good sources that track other TVs or smart devices that are doing this sort of thing?

It’s so fucking outrageous that this is where we are today. It’s why I still insist on using a separate device, though I’ve seen concerns that the TVs may still be able to do things with open networks nearby.
