LG is rolling out a new terms of use and privacy policy agreement. Looking pretty ugly over here with my "Smart TV". What can I do? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It seems to be related to some advertising push from a partner named Alfonso that is gathering information cross-platform anything that appears on your screen and pushing advertising to you during playback.

Hopefully not, but that's what it looks like from early reading.

Dude, I don’t tell the people I live with what to do. You are assuming I’m some patriarchal figure making choices for these people, that’s not how it works.

I'm making suggestions of courses of action, not demands. I'm not telling you to control your family with an iron fist, yet somehow thats the idea you're coming away with. If this is the first thing you think to say to me after reading what I wrote, I don't think we're communicating AT ALL. You're not happy with this and neither am I. I don't see any path to anything productive from here. I'll simply say goodbye and I hope you get what you want.

Heh. On that we agree.

Look, not everything someone posts online is a call for help. I noted the frustrations with my TV setup and why I can't or won't effectively mitigate them. It's not because I don't know my options, it's because they don't make sense to my setup at the moment. I don't mind someone suggesting something that helps, but you can safely assume I've tried the obvious stuff.
