Members Lucky Posted December 21, 2019 Members Posted December 21, 2019 The Christmas gift from the media seems to be an expose of how our privacy rights are being violated in almost everything we do, and everywhere we go. The NY Times has one article, the first in a series: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/19/opinion/location-tracking-cell-phone.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage The Washington Post tells us how our cars spy on us. Every transgression is noted : https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/12/17/what-does-your-car-know-about-you-we-hacked-chevy-find-out/ I once had Verizon's HUM installed on my car. They let me see the data collected. If I sped, it was noted, if I braked hard, it was noted. Nothing I did escaped notice, so I canceled it rather than give a ride to spies. Yet the Post article says I don't stand a chance! AdamSmith 1 Quote
