US Senator: What Do Our Cars Know? and Who Do They Share That Information With?

It saddens me that we have gone so far into this age of extreme surveillance from things such as cars, without having anybody substantially asking these questions. But certainly, better late than never!

We don't need a "much-needed letter to car manufacturers". We need laws and regulations which uphold privacy for the human right and dignity everyone deserves. Everything else is political theatre only.

Politics proceeds slowly. The first step for a tech aware politician like Sen. Markey is to raise awareness of the issues with his colleagues who otherwise have many other priorities. That's how laws get passed.

You are unbelievably naive if you think politicians are merely limited by their "awareness."

Step 1: "Raise awareness" of the issue

Step 2: Assure donors there are no more steps

That's how laws don't get passed.

I wish there was something like a data sinkhole you could add to a car. That would be cool.

Yes, before we have the facts we should try for sweeping laws that won't pass or pass but are easily flouted.

Laws are regulations are mandating data collection.

What we actually need is their absence.

Answering your other question, yes you are shadow banned. I vouched for this one to revive it.

Looks like they were a smartmouth to the D and got it. New accounts getting uppity is likely correlated with low effort contributions.
