Sorry, but why are you scared?
I can understand that you feel upset, pissed off, oppressed...
Some big companies and states are controlling now the device in your living
room, doing *mass surveillance* like they do with millions of other people.
That's unethical and unjust and of course your family should throw the tv out
the window, but unless you're a whistleblower or a political activist, I
can't see any danger whatsoever and clearly no reason to be scared.
You can ask your parents if it's ok for them to install a webcam in their
bedroom for a school project - I mean they have nothing to hide, don't
they??
That said: just don't use the device for yourself and that's it.
It's their right to install whatever bullshit in their living room if they
want to;
if they want to watch something with you, you can refuse the offer, stating
your reasons.
