If the govt is going to exert control over "smart" TVs, I would rather they ban ads and data collection from TV operating systems / apps that can't be removed.
The cheap TV section of JB HiFi and The Good Guys will be decimated. /s
Those ads and EULA-based privacy violations subsidise the cost of the hardware. The fact that the premium brands also extract as much user data as the cheap manufacturers is irrelevant.
There needs to be either an Industry code of conduct to prevent all user data mining or there needs to be legislation to ban all user data mining, regardless of subclauses of consent hidden in a compulsory click-through EULA.
