My LG TV has finally been shame-banned to be on the IoT VLAN instead of the normal LAN. It meant some additional (now very specific) firewall rules, although my #OPNsense UDP Broadcast Relay config already takes care of mDNS/Chromecast/etc.
It is now also explicitly banned from bypassing my #PiHole DNS filter, which has particular LG badness block lists installed...
Well done, #LG, you have officially moved into the malicious devices category on my home network.

SMART TV means never connecting your TV to the internet and only using it as an HDMI sink.
"Packet captures showed the [LG] TVs scanning the local area network for nearby hardware like phones or smartwatches, as well as logging location data and details of nearby Wi-Fi networks, and feeding the information back to LG
[...] recording audio when in standby [...] even after the TV was disconnected from the internet, with audio files stored offline and uploaded [later]"
