Also the apps on the store have some how even less privacy protections thenyoue phone.
Half the apps let your TV act as a proxy for botnets. They need residential IPs otherwise sites won't let them in to scrape all the data illegally, or use bots to wrote fake comments or inflate views.
Sucks you can't just get a normal TV anywhere they all have to come with android and are sold at a loss because companies like Netflix pay to get their spyware perm installed into the TV. Literally if you want to buy a decently sized television (not a monitor under 26 inches) you pretty much have to buy a commercial TV that they use in drive throughs,and they cost like 5-10 grand because theres no spyware in it.
