Does that mean GM is now better rated than Renault in the previous car privacy investigation that Mozilla did?
Or will your private data suddenly “explode” out there after 5 years?
At least this has teeth for five years, but the fact that this isn’t outright banned says enough about the state of privacy for these corporations.
Why buy when you can build one yourself, Like Gentoo?
As featured in one of those Fast and Angry movies or something
I’ll see myself out now.
What tf… An Oct 2024 article? I thought they stopped producing them.
Since it’s temporary no it’s not any better.
Also I’m surprised Mazda wad never mentioned anywhere in the privacy community. In my research they seem to be more privacy respecting if especially you avoid using their app…

I read in some reports that Mazda is not privacy respectful, I’m not invested on it now to find the source but there is the reddit discussion Reddit - Dive into anything
I don’t think there is a single new car released that is privacy respctful.
This is why I clarified if you don’t use their app.
That’s the difference. (Also this doesn’t seem to be the same post I’ve found and doesn’t enforce the point), see:

Don’t get me wrong now that I reread it sure it’s not great still. It isn’t but it’s better than GM and other American brands like VW anywho. (and yes perhaps Renault and Dacia is still better I agree.)
