      Yes. Many people don’t realize this but it’s getting harder and harder to keep them off the Internet because within the last 12 months or so more and more TVs are able to connect to things like Amazon Sidewalk or carrier WiFi (WiFi built into your cable modem for example) in order to Phone Home. You may not have these things but many people have a neighbor who does!

      There’s ways to stop this but most people don’t even know these paths exist and so they’ll never do it.

        A few years ago, when people think about peer-to-peer internet, they’ll think about providing internet to people who live without access any ISP. Fast forward to 2023, peer-to-peer finally saw wide deployment, but it’s used for analytics and ads instead :/
