To be clear, I am talking about consumers having to explicitly opt-in to those things and to have a clear understanding of what data and rights they are giving up. If someone wants to allow advertising and behavioral tracking, that should be their explicitly-authorized option. And definitely not the default configuration.

The current status-quo is that TV manufacturers abuse and intrude with abandon because nobody is making a fuss about it and politicians are too busy trying to throw each other in jail.
