Holy shit, Samsung Smart TVs straight up send "snippets" of things that you watch back home to "to provide you with customized Smart TV experiences".

Search that page for the text: "Your Smart TV transfers video snippets or TV tuner information in order to determine the programs watched."
@mike Samsung is not the only one, some Android TV televisions (most notably Sony, Sharp, TCL and Philips) have app called Samba Interactive TV. It uses machine learning to identify what are you watching, devices connected to the same network (they have tracker for embedding in websites), it even analyzes picture from HDMI inputs. And all of this primarily for advertising purposes.
