Under proposed order, GM and OnStar will be banned for five years from disclosing geolocation and driver behavior data to consumer reporting agencies

The Federal Trade Commission is taking action against General Motors (GM) and OnStar over allegations they collected, used, and sold drivers’ precise geolocation data and driving behavior information from millions of vehicles—data that can be used to set insurance rates—without adequately notifying consumers and obtaining their affirmative consent.

    I think I can live through 4 more years of Trump 2.0, but I don’t think I can live without Khan. I love her so much.

    Now do the insurance companies too. Because it’s my bet they all say in a room and worked these deals out behind closed doors.
