Maybe that’s why they were trying to force their users to sign a new user agreement that wouldn’t allow users to sue them or something? I don’t recall the exact details but I remember it being very shady

The article said it had a source linking the two events, then has a post-publication addendum that Roku denies any connection.

I agree with you that the timing is suspect.
