Why do people connect shit to the Internet that has no business connecting to the internet? If you want to stream, get a streaming box and put that on a VLAN separate from your LAN. Use iptables rules to block that box from communicating with anything other than the streaming services you are subscribed to.
True
however, why should it be "normal" that a TV has spyware capabilities ?
Can we have a law that says: The owner of an appliance that is discovered having remote control capabilities will receive 1million dollars from the manufacturer, if the owner sue the manufacturer
Yes, it is possible, people need to ask for it
We could have that law, but then you're depending on the government to grant you your privacy and to punish those that violate it. A better alternative is to take control of your own life for yourself.
What I say does not mean that you cannot do your option
If you ask me, I would rather have 1million than battle with the producer by technical means
maybe you also would like the free money, no ?
