>but that GM executives who cooked up this scheme were already indicted and facing serious federal prison time. This is not remotely close to having your personal phone calls recorded and sold. Not even close. Guess what? Your terrible driving habits put me and my family at risk, so I'm not up in arms if your insurance company knows about it when you aren't pretending to drive safely in front of a police officer. If you continuously break laws and can't afford insurance, everyone wins (but you). Did GM overstep? Probably. People complained and it's rectified. The idea that you want to throw executives in prison for a long time for this is beyond absurd.

My insurance company knowing how aggressively I drive, vs someone knowing exactly where I am, is an important distinction to make. Knowing that I'm doing 110 and weaving in and out of traffic and putting you at risk is one thing. knowing that I don't do that and am driving safely but knowing which 7-11 I'm parked out in front of, is not. Jail time for executives is how to incentivize corporations to behave a certain way beyond leveling fines. Look how quickly Craigslist closed their personals ads after FOSTA was passed. I don't agree with FOSTA, and think it does more harm than good, but jail time for executives is not absurd. I don't want people I don't know tracking my exact location, it's as simple as that.
