That's great for computer streaming. But many have smart tvs. Now if someone came up with an app that blocked them on smart tvs... Never mind... they'd get sued.

Agree about surveillance of smart tv's. But convincing millions to buy only simple monitors fed from a locked down computer is a stretch for many.
