Easy way to never get this. Don’t connect the tv to internet. Literally get an Apple TV or fire stick or something else as a media player.

How the fuck would you even use it on your TV?
You must understand: It's not your TV, it's LG's, and they will do with it what ever they want, and not to your benefit. This is the future we chose.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
