Something I kind of wonder about this whole "every single modern TV is a smart TV that spies on you more comprehensively than the ones portrayed in "1984"" situation is this: there must surely be some overlap between "facilities that have well-protected state secrets" and the use case for TVs. Like, do they not have any TVs in, say, the pentagon, or CIA facilities, or other country's equivalents to those things? They might not need like entertainment generally, but displaying video information to a group of people seems like it'd be useful to organizations like that. There's also people who inherently have secrets surrounding them, like national leaders, and those people will also sometimes expect entertainment.

So, how do groups like that, who both have a lot of resources to get stuff done and an obvious reason to not want a poorly secured spy device sending information from their facilities and people to some random corporate server, deal with the modern TV situation? Do they exclusively use old TVs? Do they modify off the shelf ones to kill the spying ability? Do they commission companies to make special models for them that aren't commercially available, or build their own hardware? Or is the inability to buy regular, non-spying new TVs exaggerated, and theres some generic supplier out there that they can reliably get them from?
