Just like your FB, TikTok, or Instagram app on your phone, by accepting the terms and using the software, you agree to the privacy violations that come along with it. (At least for now) Though, oddly, Texas (and even more oddly, Ken Paxton) have a lawsuit pending to curtail it.

I can say, as an LGTV owner, you don't have to opt in and your TV will still work as a TV. You just won't have access to the online features, and knowing how much data you give up by connecting your TV to a wireless network, you shouldn't be giving it network access anyway.
