LG is rolling out a new terms of use and privacy policy agreement. Looking pretty ugly over here with my "Smart TV". What can I do?

It seems to be related to some advertising push from a partner named Alfonso that is gathering information cross-platform anything that appears on your screen and pushing advertising to you during playback.
Hopefully not, but that's what it looks like from early reading.
Very smart. Do you live alone? My family is down with the sickness.
The TV is essentially used as a dumb monitor and has an Apple TV and Chromecast plugged into it.
I've got a Fire in the back of mine which I want everyone to use, but everyone just uses the LG interface except me.
Of course it screws up all the time, and when it does my first question is, "Hey did you try what you're doing on the Fire plugged into the back to see if it worked on that?"
Not like I love the fire either, but pick your poison, right? Apple, Amazon, Google, LG. Which large tech company would you like to milk your information?
I have an old laptop running LibreELEC (literally) strapped to the back of my TV. With a PC connected remote it works great.
That's the way we do it, Dave! Making fire with sticks!
