The topic at hand is local network access. Some examples of things happening on your local network that you might not want Elon/ISP to see:

- Many people have public shares on their NAS for things like media or family photos

- Security cameras

- Printers

- If you're casting, the title of everything you watch is broadcasted on the network

- Even if you're not casting, if you use an Android TV then the title of everything you watch is also broadcasted to the network by default

- The list of all your devices

- If you torrent things, then the hash of all your torrents is likely broadcasted to your local network (through Local Peer Discovery)
