Just learning about a technology called ACR. Its the "smart" part of your Tv that is sending out images of what you are watching, and selling it to data brokers who can reverse engineer what you are watching and sell it to advertising company's. How can I block this from happening with my router? Does it every end......

This should be able to be accomplished inside the TV's settings themselves.

Otherwise, you block the TV's access to the internet completely and use cable TV or OTA. Cool Twisted Evil

Also I believe Pi-Hole or Adguard Home can help.
