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?

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.
Well that was a very interesting read.
As to conspiracies, I was not advancing one. I was simply stating what seemed like a very obvious financial move on the part of a for-profit organization. Why sell you something if I can rent it.
Medical researchers are victims of funding and not in control of that at all. Those decisions are made a level higher. And they're made on the basis of profit, not human wellness in general.
At least that's what my thinking tells me but, I have NO basis in fact and it sounds like you know a lot more about these things than I do.
