What’s the point of running ACR on first party app content? It’s first party. You should already know that data.

Good for LG for actually honoring the opt out. Same with Sony/Google and a few others.

My TV isn’t on my network, but it’s nice to know some do behave. For now.

Opting out of TV entirely definitely works and I would recommend it to everyone.
