Mozilla vehicle privacy report

As a surprise to no one, new cars are spying on us and data is being sold and handed over to law enforcement without a warrant. How do we disable this?

Ride a bicycle.

 

You should log off TW immediately and throw your phone in a lake

The first sentence of that article mentions "trackers, microphones, cameras and sensors". All of them are in your hand, pointed at you right now..

 

trade it in for 2017

 

I daily drive a '97 Honda Civic EX, so old, it still has a throttle cable. My '17 Tacoma SR doesn't have TSS, XM or GPS.

 

Drive in incognito mode...

 

There's probably some Nissan Altimas out there that have a few good stories they could share.

 

There is lots of Toyota information on this link. Lots of things you can Opt Out and Opt In to customize your Toyota privacy.

You can’t go anywhere nowadays without a camera being on you at some point. You can’t buy anything at a store without you being tracked. Your phone follows you around triangling the cell towers to your location. Every internet page you go to can be tracked, even on a VPN. I guess you just don’t do anything that is illegal or much different than anyone else. I hate it and do my best to fly under the radar but the reality is that I can’t.

 

Only people driving like ..itheads should worry about it.

 

Duh.

Buy a car made before 2017.

All these cars makers are out to gouge you and sell your private info to anyone.

This isn't new.

Go look at new Subarus....basically one big Spyware

 

Dumbass post of the year

 

The "I don't do anything illegal so whatever" reaction is the stupid short-sighted reason why things have gotten this bad.

 

spoken like a true boot locker!

I didn’t realize there were so many people here who prioritize corporate rights over personal rights. This is rather unfortunate.

Thank you TA2016 for a serious answer!

 

How have things gotten bad?

 

Somebody understands that freedom is a slippery slope.

Sheeple need to wake the fk up. Corporations are encroaching illegally on your rights and gouging you back to the stone age yet people say it's OK.

Sad times we live in. If this was the British Magna Carta era, heads would literally roll

 

Still don't own one.

 

By everyone literally turning a blind eye on corporate misbehavior especially in the realm of selling private data to random 3rd parties.

We won't even get into PRISM etc with the alphabet people spying on everyone illegally for nearly 20 years now

 

What's alphabet people?

 

So after people wake the fuck up, what's step #2? What's the action plan, exactly?

Last I saw, it's still perfectly legal to live without all of these monitoring devices in our houses.
