Why not all carmakers, forever?
not so fun fact: some cars even collect information about your sexual activity.
Tesla, Tesla records EVERYTHING
They only record and transmit out of the car if you’ve given data permission, and I believe in an accident, but I may be wrong on that. The internal camera stays internal as well, or E2E encrypted to only you via the app.
If you’ve given data permission though, assume they are taking everything.
I’m assuming you’re referring to that Mozilla report, but it’s never been clear to me even after reading it how these car companies collect data on your sex life of all things.
Cars have gps built in even if you don’t use the onboard navigation. For some odd reason you care goes to a particular club / establishment every Thursday and stays parked there for 2.75 to 3.5hrs each time. If I took all the data your car’s gps collected, I bet I could make some pretty good inferences about you. Even if they’re wrong but roughly accurate, I could still sell it.
Now imagine something associated with where you’re going suddenly becomes illegal or target activity. Now you’re on a cool new government list.
Heck let’s go one step further. The location you frequent gets associated with pro Israel or pro Palestine. And since all companies are perfectly with safeguarding data, somehow has a breach. Now a true wackadoodle has this and your home location. What could possibly go wrong here? All actions and dialogue around this topic have been perfectly mannered and civil </s>. You might not even have a clue that your now associates with something to which you had no awareness or affiliation.
All of these scenarios go away if they didn’t harvest data.
Or what? What’s the cost of just ignoring this?
That seems to be the way of business these days.
Grifters and thieves control the FTC now, there’s zero chance that GM needs to comply with this. Worst case, FTC finds out they never stopped and GM has to pay a tiny percentage of the profit they made as a bribe to some of the criminals in charge of the government.
Long enough for people to forget about it.
Also note that this is about selling your data, not collecting it.
Yo, stop reposting the same thingProbably just a coincidence that it kept repeating on my feed
? This is the first time he has posted this.
It’s the 5th time in the last two days this popped upon my feed, with the same title and link. Perhaps it’s a coincidence or popular, but it stands out
We are going to consolidate. [email protected] is probably going to redirect here, so one less crosspost.
Oh nice!
Weird, I only saw it here and it’s only been cross-posted two times.
Hmm, probably just coincidence then
