My Toyota asks for permission and if I grant it then it'll "harvest" my texts and calls. How horrible and unexpected.
The title and the conclusion are biased and of poor quality. It should be "car manufacturers didn't get fined for the way their old head units worked".
- hammock 3y agoI was in a rental car this week and pure accidentally (1 in 1000) hit “yes sync contacts.” Didn’t know how to reverse/revoke that decision. Wish I did/could
- graphe 3y agoIt probably helps that this isn't exploited often. You're fine. To attack someone requires so much effort the clickbait article didn't deserve the views.
- InCityDreams 3y agoHow often isn't it exploited often? Additionally: if you were a person travelling for an abortion, not in your car because your state is all fucked up(!), can the cops request copies of texts you've received/ sent?
- salawat 3y agoYes, if they have probable cause sufficient to attain a warrant. Or they ask the rental company nice enough for a few monutes they may not even need that, as a prosecutor would argue that you waived 4th Amendment protections by not taking sufficient measures to "ensure your privacy". Third Party Doctrine.
