From the article.
> “This was an in-vehicle message designed to inform Jeep customers about Mopar extended vehicle care options. A temporary software glitch affected the ability to instantly opt out in a few isolated cases, though instant opt-out is the standard for all our in-vehicle messages. Our team had already identified and corrected the error, and we are following up directly with the customer to ensure the matter is fully resolved.”

- account42 2y agoAn ad with a (theoretical) opt out is still an ad. I don't want to see any ads, especially in a paid product.
- Devasta 2y agoWhen it comes to advertisers, there is no reason to assume anything but deliberate malfeasance.
