Love being interrupted when my monitor asks me to accept user agreements

Is this a side effect of allowing monitors to use USB-C? Is there some driver via WHQL that allows the monitor to connect to the internet???

This seems to me like a potential security issue.

That was my question as well. What is the user benefit of the monitor having a network connection?

Once you've identified the viewer you can see if they have a license for that they're viewing and report the thoughtcrime if not.

Why does my monitor need to do that? My OS, the Intel Management Engine, my application, the website I'm using, my internet provider, my modem's hardware stack, and the several networked microphones in my home are already doing it.

Yes, it's okay to abuse people because others are already might be abusing them.

Your comment is very similar to past comments in HN where the user was sadly not being sarcastic (generally people with defeatist attitudes). Please use the widely-accepted sarcasm symbol. Example:
