State law supersedes any agreement. In particular "click-through" or "shrink-wrap" licenses.
I clicked through to the actual lawsuit and it’s using the “texas deceptive trade practices act” so it’ll be interesting to see how that turns out.
I’ll preface this with the fact that I’m very privacy conscious and against data collection but people have to realize that the reason tvs are so cheap is because they harvest and sell data. So you can buy a 65” tv for $300. If they weren’t able to collect that data, that tv will cost much much more. Probably $1-2k. I’m very interested in how consumers will feel about that
