Dan GillmorThe car industry is even worse for your privacy than the worst tech company -- and that's because the worst behavior of the tech industry is embedded in every car. This report from @[email protected] is what Consumer Reports should have done years ago -- and it is infuriating. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/
Stevo VetsWow, @derekreilly and @bobbyllew, this is an eye opener. It hadn't even occurred to me that these car companies are monetizing their owners. Makes perfect sense - of course they would do this; they're tech/auto businesses, many of whom have publicly dodgy pasts.
I think this needs to be highlighted. Surely each company must have PR-trained privacy officers who can be held accountable, who can try to justify this?
