Smart TVs taking snapshots of your screen and phoning home - Is there a list of IP ranges to block? (youtu.be)

My question is: Can you block the IPs it's phoning home to without breaking other TV functions, like OS/app updates, etc? Is there a list of IPs available for smart TVs specifically that keep the fingerprint from being received by the mfg?

Most simply don't care. Don't think there is a turn-key solution. Just look up pihole and take it from there.

Again, not an issue for tech savvy people (that cares). Privacy should be available for everybody.
