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?

I have a Formuler Z11 Max and it’s awesome. Though a little pricier. Also have hooked a couple people up with those 29$ Walmart 4K ONN AndroidTV boxes, that are an extremely good box for the value. I live and die by SmartTube.
