      This is exactly what I’m implying.

      Where internet access is concerned, deny all and whitelist. Not a single company can be trusted to not constantly call home with your data.

        Well you’d still end up with no smart home device tho…

        Sooo basically the meme but with extra steps

          If they can’t access the internet, the whole meme is irrelevant. I think you missed the initial point I was making: someone in IT should know how to safely use devices that try and steal your data.

          Choosing to just not have any is akin to choosing not to have any central heating because you’ve heard about gas leaks. It’s moral panic and evidence of a lack of understanding, not good advice.
