This is the answer.

We really need regulation at the FCC level also, such that users are able to physically disable any and all WiFi radios in the device. I want to buy a tv and completely physically disable any wireless radios there in (I don’t want my electronics band hopping in free WiFi unless I’ve asked them too).

We also need privacy regulation at the FTC such that any product capable of connecting to the internet discloses such, gives the user at any time an export of the data it has waiting for export or the last export it did, and allows for the owner to disable any such data export over the internet on a permanent basis.
