All 25 major car brands reviewed in Mozilla’s latest edition of *Privacy Not Included (*PNI) received failing marks for consumer privacy, a first in the buyer's guide’s seven-year history.

According to Mozilla research, popular global brands — including BMW, Ford, Toyota, Tesla, Kia, and Subaru — can collect deeply personal data such as sexual activity, immigration status, race, facial expressions, weight, health and genetic information, and where you drive. Researchers found data is being gathered by sensors, microphones, cameras, and the phones and devices drivers connect to their cars, as well as by car apps, company websites, dealerships, and vehicle telematics. Brands can then share or sell this data to third parties. Car brands can also take much of this data and use it to develop inferences about a driver’s intelligence, abilities, characteristics, preferences, and more.

You think that shit's bad?

Just wait until President Pedophile's mandatory vehicle "Kill Switch" Regulations start in 2025.

By the time Prez "Big Mike" Obama's first term is over in 2029, your car will lock you inside and drive you straight to prison for listening to the "wrong" music or just electrocute you if the spectral analysis sensors detect alcohol in you system.

Yeah, it's doable now.

To the great and powerful, all seeing eye of Sauron.

I know my entire life is now a reality tv show for some low ranking retard at the NSA. I am sure they sympathize with me every time I get on the road with all the fucking inbred retards here in Minnesota as none of these useless fucks knows how to fucking merge. I am positive that my inane screaming at idiots, are entertaining as hell because those drones actually see what their corruption of our world has done to the common man.

I am sure they are recording every time I talked to myself or screamed obscenities at some retard on the road. They probably know what drive through coffee shops have the cutest baristas and know how many times I have paid too much for gasoline thanks to their direct theft via the gas tax.

Honestly, I do not care if they know my business for one simple reason. If I am on their radar anyway, they’re going to get that information in the first place. A 10 minute conversation with me would more or less size up what kind of intellect and what kind of asshole I am. I already know that there’s a seat reserved for me on a freight car with a bunch of other undesirables who won’t go along to get along so honestly, what do I care? If they do round us all up, I can promise you, none of us will stay in the gulag for very long as prisoners. Not one of us will be interested in living on our knees.

As soon as I can detach from a cell phone, which will be June of next year, I’m going to.

I want to live a life where tech did not rule my moment to moment happiness.

That is if the battery pack of the mandated ev does not try to catch Leonard Nimoy's eye by spontaneously combusting first.
