We recently blacklisted some of the IP’s that our LG tv was sending data to. I can’t believe the sheer number of requests logged in just 1 week! And what’s worse is LG is even denying it now

I think it's time ya'll start reading books again. TV sucks anyways.

Yes but books require some energy remaining in the body after work and family. A tv is great for exhausted people after their daily slave job.

I read books on vacations simply because I have the energy and focus for it then. Rarely do it at home.

LOT to be said for that.

Paper ones that don't track everything you read. Old fashion paper. Browse your fav local bookstore. Or hit the library. Walk out with little stack of books. Read 'em over weeks or months. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

How can you be so sure about not being tracked?
