Just dont connect the tv to Wifi and problem solved.
How can the general public not understand this?
No WiFi needed.

If you don’t want to click the link I don’t blame you. It’s a LoRA style node based network that the TV or FireStick will connect to if you don’t allow it on WiFi. It’s free to connect to so there’s more incentive for any tv maker to use it.
Wow. The modern world is awful.
Could "We the People" hijack this network to use it in totally normal and completely legal ways and definitely not for operating a peernet-like network
Good question, but the throughput is really low and I’m not exactly sure how the endpoints (or exit nodes, if that’s what they are called) work.
Would be a neat project though, and could add a huge node network to the existing LoRa stuff it it’s compatible.
I wonder if legal to not allow disable in EU.

SBC with Linux,use newpipe
Newpipe is discontinued.
Still works on graphene phone, watched dads army from 1988.
