==Privacy concerns==
"Smart" televisions have [[microphone]]s and can be operated using voice recognition software. These controls are either built into the television or are controlled by a separate "set top" box that is connected to a broadband provider. As a result, broadband providers or cable operators can monitor what television programs are being watched or requested, and if the software is modified, can monitor or record all of the sounds coming from the room where the television is located.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/mar/07/wikileaks-publishes-biggest-ever-leak-of-secret-cia-documents-hacking-surveillance|title=WikiLeaks publishes 'biggest ever leak of secret CIA documents' |work=The Guardian|date=March 7, 2017|accessdate=March 7, 2017}}</ref>
