Cars are getting an 'F' in data privacy. Most major manufacturers admit they may be selling your personal information, a new study finds, with half also saying they would share it with the government or law enforcement without a court order.
Then they act all butthurt when they get debt collectors harassing them on social media, or repos using location data to repo a car with missed payments, lol. All the J6 people are a great example of people fucking around with tech and committing crimes, then finding out belatedly :)
There’s lots of good, non-crime reasons why you might wanna protect your personal data, so you don’t get your identity stolen, your wife thrown in jail for an accidental pregnancy, or being any flavor of queer in a regressive state.
In the case of cars there isn’t really an alternative. The study the article cites looked at a bunch of different manufacturers and found the all sucked for privacy.
And apparently neither are consumers
I don’t care about my data. I have nothing to hide. Haha they can have my data if they want.
Literally everyone i know
