I imagine most smart TVs don't support multitasking or apps staying alive in the background, hopefully?

Why would you imagine that? Which non-multitasking OS do you think these devices are based on?

Specific to LG tvs:

Thank you. One of the app states mentioned is:

  > Suspended : The app is suspended in the background.

And the next sentence says this:

> The app can be suspended for a short time

Short time, short lived, not long running.

That doesn't make it okay obviously, just means the blast radius is limited.

I disagree. All it takes is one questionable HTTP request for CP or terrorist related materials to begin an investigation. Or, heaven forbid, pirate a Metallica album.

		I agree with your disagreement. Even though I’m the one you’re disagreeing with.

For example OS running on Amazon fire stick 4K kills your background processes after ~20 minutes.

The consent screens say that they "may continue running in the background after you close the app".
