  • It's just an incentive to install the app, the amount of data being harvested and sold/traded is basically the new economy.

  • And you know the cars aren't going to stop generating the data either for when they decide they want it.

  • From another comment in here it sounds like someone scammed them into going to Belarus where they didn't have authorization to be and were arrested as criminals and criminals can be conscripts.

    Doesn't seem like the Russian government is doing this intentionally as much as they're looking the other way since it benefits them. I wouldn't be surprised if the scammer gets a kickback from whomever in the police is benefiting from sending the army conscripts.

  • As someone who loves the bells and whistles and who recently bought a new vehicle last year a lot of the safety features are really nice to have but of all the tech features I thought I wanted I don't really use. If I can conveniently stream audio from my phone or have a larger screen than my phone for navigation that's placed somewhere I can glance at I would be happy. At least that's what I'd tell my past self.

    That said I wouldn't be too paranoid about the data the car is collecting because your cell phone and everyones phone around you is collecting the same information (edit: not that you shouldn't be concerned about that either). It's just that these manufacturers are realizing theres money to be made here, it's probably why GM wants to stop including Apple Car play or Android Auto so there's less fingers in the cookie jar.

    Could you imagine living somewhere that you could commute locally and just work remotely and not need such a finacial burden in your life? What a fantasy 😔

  • A lot of it has to do with things like Android Auto or Apple car play where the software needs access to your text message to read it to you and may need to send it to a more powerful cloud base system to translate your voice to text or the response from text into voice. These are legitimate reasons for using that data despite the taboo nature of how we view privacy and there are workarounds and technological breakthroughs that make it so those things can be done locally without sending it for processing but there's pros and cons for technical reasons not to. That said does a system need to read every text message on your phone just to read out a text you've only just received absolutely not and this is where things get into the grey area.

    The problem is that if you want that car you have to agree to these data policies that are very blatantly just trying to to take all of the data they can to monetize either directly from selling or trading or indirectly like improving services. What we need are strong laws in place to protect privacy but that's an uphill battle when politicians are beholden to capitalism.

    So to go back and actually answer your original question, yes, encryption is our only means or privacy assuming in this case signal encrypts data at rest.

  • I'm very aware of the words I just typed, I'm trying to help you stay informed beyond the obvious reasons for your choice.

    I'm simply trying to help you make the best choice for you.

  • You do not need an account for data collection and identification to take place. There's plenty of markers that will identify you, an example might be you go through a toll booth that happens to have a camera grabbing license plates which is used by the Department of Transportation but they outsource to company A for the license grabbing software. That company doesn't sell your information the DOT made sure of that! No, they don't sell it but they trade it under the guise of "using it for training purposes". Their partners happen to be Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile who cross reference license plates with cellular GPS coordinates at that particular time.

    Owning a phone and driving past a camera was enough to identify you and your vehicle which can and will be sold and with every trivial mundane bit of data collected eventually a picture is painted of you.

    Be wary helenslunch, they aren't out to get you but they are out to sell you.

  • Companies already bundle their invasive data collection with necessary features so if you block it than the website just won't work, this would incentivise that behavior if necessary cookies are automatically approved.

  • You know I cannot quantify damages from a program that forces compliance without transparency through gag orders. I can point out that preventing the use of a VPN does not halt an entire company, you can still connect and work exactly the same as with a VPN it's just not in a secure and private manner but what are you trying to hide? /s

    No matter what you and I believe it's irrelevant, if privacy goes on the chopping block than a VPN access would need to go with it and the technology is currently irreplaceable as-is but that doesn't negate the possibility that it can become regulated. Privacy should be a human right but you and I both know that equality isn't always equal and there's a large portion of government over numerous groups that all have their own agendas and understand the advantages of knowledge and the power it can bestow. You're trying to fight greed and greed only cares about getting more.

    Thank you for coming to my Ted talk and best of luck to you frezik, I hope you're right but I'm not going to hold my breath.
