Yesterday Porsche bricked thousands of Russian-registered and internet-connected vehicles overnight. Engines dead. Electronics locked out. No warning.
Speculation is that the German automaker acted on EU orders. Porsche isnβt denying it.
Do you think your government wonβt disable your internet-connected car because you said something βoffensiveβ under their new censorship laws?
Fair warning.
Control control control, everywhere π

β οΈ DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY WARNING π
Modern cars are becoming SOFTWARE PLATFORMS.
OTA updates, locked features, and telemetry mean:
β’ Your car isnβt fully yours anymore
β’ Corporations control functionality
β’ Repair rights are shrinking
β’ Sanctions can kill software services
β’ Privacy is evaporating
Be alarmed β but be accurate:
No government is βbricking cars for speechβ yet. #YET
The real threat is slower:
Loss of ownership β Loss of autonomy.
Freedom dies quietly β not overnight.

Wow.
That's bullshit.
Prosche will soon know the word, FAFO
Yeah, this is bad for their brand. You can't know when your country will be next on Germany's shitlist. It's also almost certainly something that will get hacked around, leaving these people only temporarily screwed.
Having said that, this feature is in a huge % of new cars thanks to the EU
Roskomnadzor
When the U.S. kicked the Russians out of SWIFT and confiscated their US treasury bonds, it just taught them not to buy them because they cant be trusted.
Such short term thinking.
What are they accomplishing? A bunch of russian citizens dont have their sports cars anymore. Thats it.
Nobody will buy these vehicles now. Lol
