I’m concerned you may not even need to connect it to the internet. It may be enough for a neighbor to leave their WiFi unsecured. The TV may very well watch for one and use it to upload.

Some hosts block it by default, but if you ask, they’ll open it up no problem.

If they’ll go for it, the most reliable way will be to offer them extra email addresses on your mail server. Sometimes, when a mail provider decides they don’t trust an incoming email, they don’t mark it as spam or reject it and send a notification response. They just… Silently drop it without ever mentioning it to sender or recipient. The only genuinely reliable way I’ve heard to build and maintain the reputation to avoid that is to send way more mail than a few individuals can manage, even with your services sending notifications. Theoretically, you can do it with really low mail volume if you jump through a whole bunch of hoops, but nothing is really guaranteed long term.

Regardless of the legality of it, he’s 100% going to take you to court and try to bury you in legal fees. One of the few things dude can actually manage to do is weaponize the legal system.

And your children are exposed for years to this shit

For a few minutes, anyway…
