In the past I would have been dismissive however the FTC seems to have been very active with enforcing consumer protections as of late so I remain hopeful.

Lina Khan, the current chair of the FTC, seems to have a history with anti-trust legal research and seems to actively care about pursuing anti-competitive industries.
I truly wish her all the best in this regulatory captured mess.

Good thing people voted hard in 2020.

I’m disappointed to learn that she was born British so she can never run for president in America.
… Not that the FTC chair is known to be a pipeline to the presidency, but I’m ready to turn over every stone at this point.

FTC won’t do shit about it, calling it now

I mean, the FTC is doing something. It’s the courts I’m more concerned with.

Huh, i wonder if this is part of why western countries have been so against Chinese cars lately. Too much privacy.

Nah, it’s not that Chinese cars have too much privacy its that the data is going to China.

Wasn’t it Merkel years ago with whom car data belongs to: the telecommunication provider or the vendor?

We just need to pool money and start buying info from lawmakers’ cars. When it’s their info being published, I bet they’ll have a much more positive response to cracking down.

The FTC will take ten years to accomplish nothing of value – and even whatever fig-leaf ruling they issue will be sued into oblivion, or voided by the Supreme Court.
Privacy is dead because killing it was in the interest of too many wealthy and powerful companies, government agencies, and individuals for it to have ended up any other way.

The country needs far stronger privacy laws.
