We recently blacklisted some of the IP’s that our LG tv was sending data to. I can’t believe the sheer number of requests logged in just 1 week! And what’s worse is LG is even denying it now

Some set top boxes are little better. Even then, some the apps get you. Netflix is awful with tracking.

And Tubi from what I can tell! But not surprised by either

Tubi is pure slop. They openly admit they are too privacy-invasive for EU laws lol

Check the settings of the Tubi app. You will still see a lot of requests to load the ads even if they are not personalised anymore.
