I imagine most smart TVs don't support multitasking or apps staying alive in the background, hopefully?

- microcode 4mo agoThe consent screens say that they "may continue running in the background after you close the app".
- dotancohen 4mo agoWhy would you imagine that? Which non-multitasking OS do you think these devices are based on?

- tumdum_ 4mo agoFor example OS running on Amazon fire stick 4K kills your background processes after ~20 minutes.

- dotancohen 4mo agoThank you. One of the app states mentioned is: > Suspended : The app is suspended in the background.
- cj 4mo agoAnd the next sentence says this: > The app can be suspended for a short time Short time, short lived, not long running. That doesn't make it okay obviously, just means the blast radius is limited.
- dotancohen 4mo agoI disagree. All it takes is one questionable HTTP request for CP or terrorist related materials to begin an investigation. Or, heaven forbid, pirate a Metallica album.
- cj 4mo agoI agree with your disagreement. Even though I’m the one you’re disagreeing with.
