Time to make data sharing illegal. If it is technically needed, the industry needs to have a written contract with the user, which describes in detail which data is shared. It must be a separate contract from anything else, and one each for each industry partner.
That’s the Terms and Conditions that nobody reads.
I’m not talking about a “one click for everything”. I’m talking about a separate, written contract that can be cancelled at any time, without cause for any other obligation.
The t&c are not a separate contract, though. Its a “take it or leave it” signing here gets you the car and the agreement to be spied upon.
I read them all now with Chatgpt. Just fed it in and summarize
In the owner’s manual, it says you consent to data collection by driving the car and if you don’t consent, you should return the car to the nearest dealer.
