LG is rolling out a new terms of use and privacy policy agreement. Looking pretty ugly over here with my "Smart TV". What can I do?

It seems to be related to some advertising push from a partner named Alfonso that is gathering information cross-platform anything that appears on your screen and pushing advertising to you during playback.
Hopefully not, but that's what it looks like from early reading.
I've got a Fire in the back of mine which I want everyone to use, but everyone just uses the LG interface except me.
Of course it screws up all the time, and when it does my first question is, "Hey did you try what you're doing on the Fire plugged into the back to see if it worked on that?"
Not like I love the fire either, but pick your poison, right? Apple, Amazon, Google, LG. Which large tech company would you like to milk your information?
I'm tech support in the house.
You want me to have to admit I can't fix something?
It's easy. "They must have changed something and it broke. Luckily I planned ahead and got the firetv so you could still watch everything as usual".
Bonus points because it's not a lie, they changed the tos, and you are now this clever guy that prepared a plan b in case something stopped working because you didn't want them to suffer. Intelligent, loving Melatonin.
