  Ignorance is bliss I guess? New cars are pretty much computers on wheels that collect data. This is not a secret or anything.

  I mean, fuck China and the genocide of the Uighur. It’s terrible. But I’m pretty confident that capitalism killed a whole lot more people throughout history.

    There’s a difference between what telemetry a German car gathers, and what a Chinese car gathers. And where is it sent.

    The data from EU companies is anonymised and private. The data from Chinese companies is always available to their government.

    Ah, I guess it’s fine then. Since throughout history more people died because of capitalist policies, then we can support China with a clear conscience!

    I do 100% agree with this, though:

      Just trust me bro, the EU respects you but the Chinese are out to get you. The same EU that still has a special trade agreement with the genocidal Zionists, and is their biggest trading partner. The same continent that colonized and enslaved much of the rest of the world for centuries.Those are the good guys that you should implicitly trust, no proof needed you paranoid dummy. The red Chinese, they’re the scary ones. Fear them.

      Haha, tell that VW who stored positional data with full precision against their own rules (the CCC Chaos computer Club did a good presentation about this).
