Cars collect a lot of our personal data, and car companies disclose a lot of that data to third parties. It’s often unclear what’s being collected, and what’s being shared and with whom. A recent New York Times article highlighted how data is shared by G.M. with insurance companies, sometimes without clear knowledge from the driver. If you’re curious about what your car knows about you, you might be able to find out. In some cases, you may even be able to opt out of some of that sharing of data.
Ok I’m ready for the US to implement proper data protection laws now
I’m ready for the US to restore proper protection for property rights now. It’s absolutely batshit insane that corporations are allowed to have this much control over products after they’re sold to begin with.
Likewise
Reach out to your reps and encourage others to do the same
And until they do, I will continue driving my 2007 Tundra
Laughing at this bullshit with my 2001 Honda Civic.
We all know that’s not happening. While people with money have political power over the decisions of ones in office, they will always have the upper hand. That’s how we reached a point where a 2024 car had a paid subscription for the climate control
People sleepwalking through life is how we have a climate control subscription. A large enough boycott of all their cars would cure them of malfeasance for several years.
This is why we have ads on all the streaming services now, and why we have a fuckload of streaming services instead of just one or two. This is why HP thinks they can do ink subscriptions.
See, that’s the issue. The reason why we have all these streaming services, with nothing on them, is because people just don’t care. They’ll still sub to 8 of them at the same time, just like they’ll get a car from a brand that’s fucked them over before. A boycott implies that people don’t live life on autopilot
