EU planning for real-time of monitoring of cars metadata - incl. IMEI + VIN (unique ID of Sim card and car), position of the car, speeding, fuel etc.
Fuck this dystopia!
Discussion
Oh, and if you connected your phone to a car (which no one should ever do), then also the phone metadata.
The world is becoming extremely scary.
cars from the early 2000s are going to go for a big premium soon
Remember when they removed the tracking chip from Neo?
It's where we're going.
Although I wish it wouldn't even come that far. Like no one in the population is actually in favor of this shit, and democracy literally means "rule of the people" - so it shouldn't be possible that they get away with it.
Alas if i had 5 sats for every time I hear "shouldn't be", I'd be a bloody millionaire
Let me guess. Because terrorists.
They do cite the possibility to track "illicit" behavior such as track solen cars, speeding etc.
But generally they are quite open with the fact it's about data collection for its own sake and "behavioral guidance"
It's noteworthy, that this is technically not an EU institution, but a EU standards committee that's planning this.
To me, it's all the same though
When you're planning to buy new car it's very important to get a nice diesel car before all this gets legislated.
You should also learn to repair it, produce replacement parts, make fuel etc 🤫
Eastern Europeans have the clear advantage here; we've worked through this once before
I need to get out before they lock us in, like a certain other union once did.
You mean the EUSSR?
Because of the EU every single webpage has a pop up banner to individually opt out of all those cookies, but one can’t opt out of being physically tracked in your vehicle movements? 🧐
🤮
Yaysus effin C !?!!!
maybe good for policing but it's like walking the streets with your underwear broadcast all over the entire community
It will probably lead to be physical fitness…a lot more walking 😃
WHY DID WE SAVE THEM IN WW2? 🤦🏼♀️
EU Woketards have to control everything. So disgusting. Europe was better before these commies took over
Any Germans who can add a bit of context here?
