Did you know Tesla has cameras both on the outside of vehicles and the inside, and everything is uploaded to Tesla? Anyhoo they’ve been exporting the videos, making memes of customers and then posting them on chat rooms. https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-workers-shared-sensitive-images-recorded-by-customer-cars-2023-04-06/
Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customer cars

Tesla Inc assures its millions of electric car owners that their privacy “is and will always be enormously important to us.” The cameras it builds <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/elon-musks-2018-tweet-tesla-union-campaign-illegal-us-court-rules-2023-03-31/" target="_blank">into vehicles</a> to assist driving, it notes on its website, are “designed from the ground up to protect your privacy.”

@the6wicked6one6 @GossiTheDog I mean, don't touch anything related to Elon unless you want to end up a meme on the internet with your private shit, but still, it's abysmal

@hacks4pancakes @GossiTheDog Same policy here also this reminds me a lot of what was going on in repair centers for PCs and Mac's for some reason.

@the6wicked6one6 @GossiTheDog @hacks4pancakes A good number of people would be surprised (e.g. @denzilferreira, @Drezil, & @swotam), who say opt-in is sufficient. I think most people would think that. But @tony makes a good point: “nearly everyone opts in”. https://toot.hoyle.me.uk/@tony/110153716314016512

@[email protected] It's interesting that nearly everyone opts in (although in part because of the big dialog that makes it sound like you're missing out if you don't) - same with google, alexa, etc. it seems most people are quite happy to have their data uploaded. Somehow we trust corporations which seems a bad idea to me.. @[email protected]

@tony @swotam @Drezil @denzilferreira @hacks4pancakes @GossiTheDog @the6wicked6one6 I don’t suppose many privacy conscious people would buy a #Tesla. These are the kind of people who would be feeding surveillance capitalists like Facebook & Amazon with total disregard. They likely have Ring, Roomba, Alexa, etc.
