Samsung, as well as most other well known brands of "smart" TVs spy on what you are watching too. Not only the programs, but videos you watch, games you play, anything that appears on the screen, is sampled and reported to the mother ship, so they can sell that information on you.
A few months ago, my Samsung TV picked up a new trick: every time I switched to a streaming channel, within a couple seconds, advertising for a movie would pop up, obscuring the program I wanted to watch. Very irritating. Went into the privacy settings, which said they had been "updated" last September. Turned off the ACR features. Shazam! The advertising no longer appears, when I switch to a streaming channel.
