I am sure this article has been shared before, however I wanted to have a look at this topic.
The articles short summary is this:
All 25 car brands we researched earned our *Privacy Not Included warning label – making cars the worst category of products that we have ever reviewed
I am currently driving a 2014 Ford Fiesta which just has a radio with a CD player and Bluetooth. I do not need more than that in a car.
The reason I am looking at all is that that the Fiesta does not belong to me and the friend owning it will be moving out in a bit, so I kinda need another one.
There seems to be one brand that is not as bad as the other ones (but still bad): Renault; mozilla’s review…
Maybe I will have a look at their cars.
What do you guys think? Stick to older used cars and not use an EV or look at which of the manufacturers have the least bad privacy policy?
I feel the same. But it goes for so much. My wife just bought a new phone and i’m angry for hours already. All that shit you need to remove and turn off. All the configurations “help” that starts and you must walk through that turns it all back on again and reinstalls bloat. And god damnit so many shit we had turned off on the old phone shows up on the new one. All privacy settings feel like placebo toggles. I’m done with “smart” devices.
