- charcircuit 6mo agoThis Mozilla report is low quality and treats legal boilerplate as proof of them spying. It says a car is snooping on you via its microphone even if that microphone is purely used for support Bluetooth calls.

In case of Nissan they’ve claimed they don’t really want to sell information on customer sexuality to advertisers. If that’s really the case they should stop claiming that unnecessary right.
