“A residential proxy network is not an intended use for LG smart TVs, and LG Electronics is working with developers to remove the residential proxy option from their apps on the webOS platform,”

I guess their ecosystem is too fragile to suspend the developers immediately for what is pretty clearly abusive behavior.
