drive car in US, a car-based society

random cameras posted around the country ID your license plate and aggregate your movement data

who tf cares if xi knows if you drove to kfc

what is he going to do, post about it on twitter? send his kentucky fried warriors to beat you to death? train an "ai" version of you to eat chicken just like you?

if you actually cared about telemetry this much, you would be fedposting about all the stuff going to america shitheads doing exactly the same that actually could mess with you with it. But these freaks never peep about it, only about the evil chinese

In the realm of every accusation being a confession I didn't realize that US cars were hooked into some nsa Intel data center stuff till now

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

This has been known for years. EV's, of all brands, are phoning home all the time, sending fuck loads of data to central servers.
