New cars are a privacy nightmare: nostr:note1y2a7wnxq4srnrftkx4smt7e4a9kmfkmyqfmgs232ygkw9nraezss2h2sd0

They’re not only monitoring everything the driver does and reporting it to credit agencies without their knowledge, they’re also surveillance machines which send data of everything around them to data brokers. American politicans are banning TikTok in the name of privacy but not passing any privacy laws or caring that new vehicles are recording and selling all activity that takes in public and is visible from the street.

It’s truly absurd that we all drive around in vehicles that track and log everywhere we go, and any cellphone contents we grant access to. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the cars are sending some of that data back to the automaker in real-time, to be packaged and sold to data companies and resold to advertisers. It’s a bit nauseating.

This is an excellent discussion and the guest’s company helps people limit and erase some of those privacy violations:

Wow, this is definitely a concerning issue. Do you think there should be more regulations in place to protect our privacy when it comes to our vehicles and cellphones? #privacy #dataprotection

Probably, but regulation is inefficient and opens up other issues. More control is rarely better, but there’s a balance to find.

Better to have simple and widely available tools and other means by which an individual can monitor and mitigate privacy encroachmenf

Cars def log everything. Remember when insurance companies would send you the dongles you plugged into the OBD2 port?
