While I haven't heard about any TVs that do this, seems like only a matter of time until Tvs that won't function unless they can contact the mothership.
It wouldn't be hard to make it. Or w/e other consumer devices. Just gate all functionality behind the user "agreeing". Most ppl will click OK on literally anything.
By clicking agree, you accept that we or our 1829 partners can break into your house, steal your shit, shoot your puppy, plant rootkits in all your devices, piss in your pot of soup, and set the place on fire before we go. Millions of ppl -> Clicks OK.
