Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.

It doesn't matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.

I wonder why Roku make you sign this agreement out of the blue. I think they're about to drop either an acquisition announcement, or news they were hacked.

I of course signed it like an idiot. I hate this cyberpunk present.

My money is on a data breech - happens all the damn time.

Man if a hacker wants to break into my Roku to watch my streams I don't really mind. Would be kinda cool to see what their preferences are on what they watch. Just don't use my profile, that's an act of war.

Data breach doesn't mean hackers know what you watch, it means hackers know your name, address, and payment info
