@dangillmor @[email protected] Can’t we make it illegal for cars (appliances, etc) to collect personal data on us? I’m feeling like we’re all being ground up and sold to a data hungry monster. #SoylentGreen But it’s our data.
@Catawu @dangillmor @mozilla @vascorsd Hi, have you heard of Europe and the GDPR?
@Squig @Catawu @dangillmor @mozilla @vascorsd This report includes European cars! I don't see how they can possibly be complying with the GDPR, but it's clear Renault and Dacia are at least pretending to.
@Squig @dangillmor @[email protected] @vascorsd I had not heard about that. I shall look into it.
