Once again, this is an example of contract law being used to undermine/breach personal sovereignty.<p>The reason I stick to it despite the crowd who'll inevitably crop up and go "You can opt out by simply not getting one/not entering into the contract", I have only to say they are sadly deluded as companies will converge on whatever maximizes products, so what might seem abhorrent now, will be normalized 10 years from now.<p>These are products that <i>should not exist</i>. This is an intrusion enabled purrly by the tech industy's declaration of assumed sovereignty over user's computers when their code comes into the picture. No, it isn't slippery slope fallacy. No, I am not crazy, I merely have to point at the last 10 years in which cryptography and industry actor collusion has created the entire concept of "User proof secure computing".<p>Banality will win every damn time.
To be honest, you are already paying a hefty price for a TV that still shows ads.. OP is not a good thing obviously but I think we passed the non return point.
