Ok, I don’t understand your point, then. If a device works locally then you can firewall it and block any nasty stuff phoning home. If it runs everything through the manufacturer’s servers then you can’t firewall it without disabling it entirely.
I’m completely lost. I’m not talking about safe, I’m talking about how routing everything though a server gives a lot more control to the manufacturer and they’re loathe to give that up.

Read the thread. People are saying ‘if it connects to the LAN it’s safe’.
I’m pointing out safe or not has nothing to do with it being on a LAN or not.
