Car manufacturers—and all businesses—should take note that the FTC will take action to protect consumers against the illegal collection, use, and disclosure of their personal data.

    They won’t actually do anything meaningful since this isn’t hurting the 1%.

      I mean, it could hurt the 1%. Car manufacturers gather a laughably huge amount of data. Everything from where you shop, to your genetic information, to who you’re sleeping with.

      All it would take is a group of 99%’ers pooling money to buy the info of lawmakers, CEOs, etc… When it’s suddenly their info being sold, I bet they’ll be a lot more amenable to protections. Because when the lawmakers’ secret affairs start getting aired by their car, they’ll be quick to shut that shit down.
