Have a Vizio Smart TV? It’s Spying On You. Here’s How To Stop It

Vizio has agreed to pay $2.2 million in fines. They've been accused of collecting data about personal viewing habits from 11 million smart TV customers, and then selling the data to advertisers without consent.

• Press Menu on your TV remote, select System on the TV.
• select Reset & Admin, highlight Smart Interactivity
• Press the right arrow to turn it off
