So the government spying on you is cool but not a company that makes electronics?

The government is spying on you because they want to control you.
The companies are spying on you because they'd rather show a middle aged man a beer commercial featuring the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than an ad for Midol.

Right, which is why I'm asking the OP why he is so mad about beer ads...

Damn right. Who do you think has the real power?

I'm sure that sort of thing goes on all the time.
I just get my revenge by prancing about naked in front of the built in web cam. I figure the medical expenses they incur for traumatized employees should make us even.

Hah I love it, some poor bastard is being bored to death tracking my viewing information. I think I'll also take up naked dancing, although I may be sued for visual atrocities.

The government spying is fine....they're a bunch of straight up guys, from the makers of The Cold War, death squads in Northern Ireland, IRS persecution, Obamathugcare, mass artificial starvation in Russia and China, the Gulag, the KGB(still called the KGB in Belorus - they have this whole 'retro' vibe going on, wonderful). Everything Hitler did was legal.
Corporations - bad guys that bring you your Apples, TV's, Radios, Cars, HP Slates and Desktops, Hitachi drives, Coca Cola. Yeah, I don't trust them not to want to make money for an instant.
But seriously, ever since Public Private Partnerships were invented in the 90's, the Government is the Corporations, the Corporations are the government.

Cell phone as well as telephone companies always know where you are and have a good idea what you're doing. Your average store-bought computer has been spying on you since the mid-1990's when the Internet really got going. TV cable boxes having been reporting on you since the 1980's when cable began. Nielsen ratings for TV began in 1950 practically as soon as television became widespread. Nielsen adapted TV ratings from radio ratings that began in the 1930's and which was adapted from market analysis in the 1920's. This has been happening for about 100 years or more. It should be no surprise that LG has jumped on the bandwagon.
Thus, there is no step too far. There is only the erosion of freedoms which you allow.

If true, that would be an invasion of my privacy. However, my LG TV is stupid and doesn't have an internet connection, so it can't send anything anywhere.

That's the reason number one why I don't connect any appliance that doesn't need it to the internet.

Reminds me of the Cold War joke:Q: "What's the difference between the USA and the USSR?" A:"In the USA people watch television. In the USSR television watches the people."

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it to say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore too long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lee ever wrong
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew
