My strategy is I never accept the ToS on the TV. By and large major manufacturers don’t track unless the ToS are accepted after Vizio was caught. I still get firmware patches and can do home automation signals from the TV activity on LG without ever accepting the ToS. YMMV. Periodically after a firmware update it prompts to accept the ToS again otherwise it’s pretty silent. I do not however use any smart tv features. For my prior generation I just never attached them to a network.
- jwr 2y agoI didn't accept them either. That didn't prevent LG from auto-enabling the ACR.
- fnordpiglet 2y agoHow did you observe that it was phoning it home? My network monitoring indicates it’s only checking firmware, but I have 2024 models.
- jwr 2y agoI did not watch the network transmissions, I just noticed that the setting is ON by default.
- meowster 2y agoI hope you never have a guest that accepts the ToS.
