The risk that Canadian data collected by connected vehicles are accessed and exploited increases when these data are sent to — or transit through — foreign jurisdictions with more permissive data management frameworks
A valid concern! Why not consider the same thing for vehicles from other jurisdictions?
The Chinese government has shown their intention to try to use any technology that they can to advance their own goals… [and] that would include using Chinese EVs to collect data that they could be compelled back in China to use for whatever purposes they feel.
Terrible! But also very1, very2 familiar3.
In 2017, the Chinese government passed its National Intelligence Law, which requires any Chinese companies to comply with state orders to hand over any information.
So, just like the American CLOUD Act? And Bill C-22 right here in Canada?
Sounds like it isn’t a problem with Chinese EVs, but instead it’s a problem with Canada’s approach to privacy.

But that would also mean the government and corps cannot spy on us! After all, corporations knowing everything about you and your location and everything from your phone and public WiFi and whatever at all is times then just selling it or giving it to the police is how we can eliminate all freedoms without actually repealing them!
