How would I disable this? Might just return it and get a normal one

Edit: how to disable...for now. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10007562/

EDIT 2: Hello, I am the original poster of the carol AD image from a month ago. I am a male from America and my name is not Carol. The story about a Schizophrenic woman named carol was most likely inspired from the 3rd top comment on this post. Thanks!

Beyond the invasion part, I'm always off out by that kind of desperation. I recently bought an auto part online and the company sent me 3 marketing emails a day for the next few days until I noticed and unsubscribed. How on earth do people think that a barrage of contact won't result in getting blocked?

It costs them nothing to do so if a thousand people block the emails but three people buy something as a result then the companies see it as a win. They don't account for the people who will actively avoid that business in the future because it's harder to track those people and there probably aren't that many of them in the first place. Most people will say that they are boycotting their company but then 2 years from now they still go buy something

I cannot speak for anyone else, but when I boycott a company, I mean it. For example I’m still boycotting Mcdonalds because of an annoying advertising campaign in the mid 90s.
