Washington Post Asks Prof. McGeveran About Smart TV Privacy Policies

For a feature breaking down the complex privacy policies that accompany internet-connected smart televisions, the Washington Post consulted Professor William McGeveran as one of four experts on privacy law. McGeveran helped explain typical features of these polcies, and he offered advice for those overwhelmed by their tangled legalese: don't activate smart TV features you don't use. “You can bet that you are reducing the overall amount of data collection by doing that,” he said.
