Nothing would surprise me in that regard. I ditched TV over 10 years ago and do not miss it. After 500 channels of boredom with Dish, and for more than I want to pay for that boredom, I quit and use my TV as a monitor.

But it never ceases to amaze me that every advance that brings entry by either govt or business into the home in the name of continence, more and more people lap it up while saying they worry about that very thing. And claim tinfoil for anyone pointing out that such convinences WILL go beyond their stated purposes.

People thought the ‘crash box’ stuff in cars was great with lower ins rated. Now people are learning that the ins co.s use the data to deny claims. And the GPS in a modern car can be used to track speeding.

But noooooo that doesn’t and would NEVER happen. Just crazy tinfoiler stuff...

I stopped the TV on Showtime FAMILY channel and was greeted with a movie where a high school girl gets birth control and consent from her permissive parents.

right

I am often perplexed by what Hollyweird considers “family” programming
