How do I automatically set off TNT using Command Blocks
I would like to know if there is a way to make it so when a player places a block of TNT, it immediately fuses, without the use of flint and steel, fire charges, etc.
Please, no mods or plugins.

In case anyone needs this, in the newer versions there are two ways of doing this.
Method 1, Use spawn eggs instead:
/give @p mooshroom_spawn_egg{display:{Name:'{"text":"Primed TNT Spawn Egg","color":"red","italic":false}'},EntityTag:{id:"minecraft:tnt",Fuse:0}} 1
This spawns a tnt entity with a fuse of 0^
The other would be to have a command block running on repeat with the command:
execute as @e[type=tnt] run data merge entity @s {Fuse:0}
But this only sets the fuse to 0 once a piece of tnt is lit, which is not what this question was looking for but still could be helpful.
