My analogy makes it clearer to highlight a point. But you’re right that Honda wouldn’t shut down if these regulations are passed. But It could be that the companies they’re partnering with are giving them a cheaper rate on infotainment systems for a cut of the data that’s collected. If we made Honda produce two Civics. One that steals your data and one that is just $200 more expensive, then we fully educate people on why the more expensive version is better. And then they STILL chose the cheap data miner. Then taking that option away with regulation is wrong. I might not agree with consumers here. But the reality is that they might just not agree with us about what’s important. Enforcing a choice because we “know better” isn’t right.
