I own a new 2026 OLED LG tv and these privacy implications is why I never connected it to the internet. Laptop + Apple TV is more than enough.

    Didn't they find that the TVs are storing info on a hard drive and then sending it if it ever gets a internet connection? Wouldn't be hard pressed to see them opening a wifi connection for a minute to do that without your knowledge.
