    We need basic data privacy rights. 1) they shouldn’t be mass sold. 2) there should be an easy opt out ( which should be the default, not opt in) 3) outlaw these endless EULAs. I would spend my whole life reading these if we actually stopped to look through every one that comes across daily life.

    All carmakers are doing that, not just Toyota. If someone posts a similar report about China’s BYD you are whatabouted to death, but if it is about a non-Chinese carmaker, there are no whataboutisms.

    Is the data collection good or bad now? Should we have digital sovereignty in Europe and other democracies or just import ChEaP cHiNeSe CaRs?
