All this shit needs to be legislated to be opt-in.

And then they'll just do like everyone else does, nag screens every five minutes with no "No, and don't ask me again" option, you can only say "Not now" and then it'll ask again in five minutes. Or you can have the car, but you can only use the speedometer if you agree to them monitoring your speed and you can only have headlights and windshield wipers if you agree to them recording everything you do, etc.

Mine isn't hooked to the Internet. Works for me.

This is the way. I just moved and got a new TV. It has never been connected to the internet and never will. My Shield TV pro handles that
