Court rules automakers can record and intercept owner text messages
A federal judge on Tuesday refused to bring back a class action lawsuit alleging four auto manufacturers had violated Washington state’s privacy laws by using vehicles’ on-board infotainment systems to record and intercept customers’ private text messages and mobile phone call logs.

The Seattle-based appellate judge ruled that the practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, handing a big win to automakers Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and General Motors, which are defendants in five related class action suits focused on the issue. One of those cases, against Ford, had been dismissed on appeal previously.

Once messages are downloaded, Berla’s software makes it impossible for vehicle owners to access their communications and call logs but does provide law enforcement with access, the lawsuit said.

Fucking bullshit. Automakers have no reason to do this except to be good bootlicking goys.
I fuckin hate this new kiked world.

i agree, they are both selling and sharing your digital footprint to other CO. and law enforcement.

the right to privacy is really long dead. RIP 4 amendment

Bunch of idiots. When you sync to a car it asks you for access to your contacts and messages EXPLICITLY TO DATA MINE YOU.

Just fuckin' say no.

Most like phones ask if you want to share your data with an app, but once you do all bets are off.

The main problem for me is it going into the car where law enforcement or whoever can get it.

None of it is coming out because there's no functioning (data) radio and no (cellular-band) antenna.

However, if it is storing this stuff internally that is annoying.

Wow, that's fucking insane the lengths these companies will go for our data.

we are all digital slaves now. there wont be no hiding in to this new world that they are constructing.

while womyn are celebrating the right to butcher their own offspring (abortion on demand) the other rights are being taken away one little legislation and court order at a time.

soon enough that will be the only right that they will get to "enjoy" fucking stupid people

How is this not like recording a conversation when you're not present (or recording at all without their consent in some states)?

great point. i dont know how they can bypass this. my guess is because a corporation is doing it?

they dont care and i think this will go out up to the u.s supreme court.

like i said all our amendments are under attack because the plutocracy stopped believing in them long time ago.

their new hero is leon D trosky. our founders...pffft that was 200 years ago man

Fuck that shit: If I'm going to be monitored like an airline pilot, I'm damn well going to be paid like one.

Invest (or pirate) a service manual, then snip, snip, snip.

So bypass the loophole by buying a hands-free Bluetooth device that circumvents their incar jewry.

Just giving options to a easily solvable problem. Unless you know how to manipulate the cars OS my solution is the best option.

If you think that's bad just remember that in a time of war there are no rules period, and the world is heading to war, and you might be a target just for having wrong opinions. If it can be used it will be used. Courts will not matter at that point.

[ - ] Clubberlang 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 19:19:27 ago (+1/-0)

you might be a target just for having wrong opinions.

You couldn't operate in society just a year ago if you opposed the current approved regime talking points and didn't vaxecute yourself.

that's a fair point but i still dont think that the world elite will kill themselves in a nuclear war over some ukranian or arab/jew

Good. This only hurts dumb asses who buy stupid shit.

...writes the person who uses stupid shit. You can only outrun technology for so long. Typical "Why do I care? I don't use ________".

"writes the person who uses stupid shit"

Wrong. My car does not have that dumb ass shit in it. Nor would I ever even consider such a car, as would an idiot.

It's a 3 day old account what thinks Ramaswamy is "our guy" and makes an "off-grid soldering iron" while ignoring that if the power goes out, so do the things that need soldering.

[ - ] Clubberlang 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 19:21:54 ago (+1/-0)

Ramaswamy he's like a poo fauci he takes every side of any argument as long as he's in front of a camera. He believes in nothing as long as it's what's trending.

He's not wrong though, neither are you ofc. Its been a delicate balance but the masses accept everything we bitch about. Holdouts can't stop the tide alone, and thus, it will not be stopped.
Things are going to get worse.
