People are probably unaware of the telemetry on their vehicle.
But this is a good point, people get upset when government is perceived to screw them over and not upset enough when the private sector does it. In practice, the private sector screws over the public quite a bit.
- jaredklewis 1y agoMight be logical. The government can throw me in jail, steal my stuff (aka civil forfeiture), or (as we found out recently) tear gas my kids all without any penalty. In some situations, the government decides they are allowed to kill you. Companies at least risk significant consequences if they start tear gassing children. For the most part the worst they can do is screw you out of some money, which is not great, but obviously better than imprisonment and the like.
- tiahura 1y agoIf millions of people are being tracked by GM and haven’t noticed, how is it a problem?
- array_key_first 1y agoBecause doing something evil and then lying about it isn't any better than doing something evil and being honest. Everyone with even a quarter of a brain can recognize that the extreme data collection is a ticking time bomb. This WILL be leaked. This WILL be used to deny people's rights. This WILL lead to financial loss for people. It's only a matter of when.
- asveikau 1y agoThis is a weak argument. eg. If I come into your house at night and you don't notice, what's the problem?
- jjgreen 11mo agoIf I wank in your soup and you don't notice, how is that a problem?
