Comment on Court rules automakers can record and intercept owner text messages
TheGreatFox@lemm.ee 1 year agoAh, the classic “nothing to hide” response.
How did that quote go again? “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”? Even things you think may be innocuous can and will be used against you if given reason to.

I have plenty to hide I just don’t do those things texting on my phone. That section is very boring. Compartmentalize people.

The car maker will gather your mundane data, and all other services you, your friends, parents, parents friends and employer use will also do that. Then data will be deanonymized, traded, aggregated, traded around some more and aggregated again. Suddenly all actors have a complete profile on you and your social network, where they can very accurately infer many data points not explicitly collected.

All big companies do analytics now. They have files on virtually every consumer from buy huge volumes of data and deanonynizing it, and then they know just about everything about you.

Honestly I can’t tell if what you said is hypothetical. It seems closer to reality than fiction and that’s a scary concept.
How do we fight back?

You missed the articles about how shitty car tech privacy is?

Or alternatively privacy matters even for those with nothing to hide. Everyone knows how your kid was made, but you don’t want just anyone to see.
