  • the current law does not allow them to no comply. they can go to court, but they would be required to comply in the meantime.

    unfortunately the UK law says not complying is a criminal offense, not just an administrative un compliance. so apple employees would be liable to criminal charges.

    this is very bad but it’s the draconian UK laws the problem here.

  • I’m conflicted on what would have been the best course of action.

    if they would have fought this (in private) I assume people would assume they were complying. so the only option would have been to break UK law and fight it publicly. I am not sure that was feasible.

    but this also just creates a precedent for other countries push apple to do the same

  • I honestly think the issue is that these people want a SmartTV but are annoyed about its downsides. When I bought my current TV I disabled the smartOS but ended up enabling it back because I did find value on its features.

    I think the complaints are not well articulated. They do want the smart TV they just want good ones that dont spy on them or show ads.

  • smart TVs mostly can be used as a dumb TV if you reject the terms of services when you set it up. I understand they are annoying, but people making such a big fuzz about them are clearly just fabricating drama.
