Given the privacy angle, I expect they won't do ACR in Europe. Because that would require asking permission and the courts have ruled that "free and explicit consent" means the user must be able to say no. Otherwise it doesn't count as consent and the massive GDPR fines come into play.

For all the bad press it got, I'm happy to have GDPR because it very firmly puts the consumers in control of their data.

Enforcement isn't fully there yet, but with Oracle getting sued and pulling the plug on the European side of their Blukai data sales business things are moving in the right direction.

My new LG CX tv has an option in the settings for this (in Norway) so I can just turn it of.

My old Sony Bravia with android tv didn't even honour my DHCP DNS settings so I made the firewall reroute all the requests to my internal dns for "pi-holeing".

GDPR is a massive win for consumers, enforcement will come it just takes time :)
