DON'T Connect Your Phone To Your Car!
Modern cars are a privacy nightmare.
It's worse than you realize. In this video we dive into all the types of data your car is collecting about you: from video recordings, microphone recordings, location data, biometrics, all the way to files/contacts/photos ingested from your phone!
They lied to you about car surveillance
We now know that the data collection in modern cars is out of control -- The question is, how does that data even leave your car? And what, if anything, can you do to stop it?
That's what we cover in this video, Part 3 of our car privacy series: SIM cards, WiFi, and OBD ports.
We also talk about how companies trick us into handing over our data, things that we can do to push back against this insane overreach that we've somehow normalized, and the giant legal loophole for cars that makes it super easy for law enforcement to collect your data without a warrant.
Do THIS Before Selling Your Car!
Cars are no longer dumb machines -- They're smart devices with hundreds of computers bolted on top that collect information about our activities. Some car companies have even explicitly said in their privacy policies that they collect information about your sexual activity!
Given that so much information is stored in our car, what happens when we sell it? Do we just hand this sensitive information off to the next owner? And given the remote capabilities of modern cars, how do we make sure the previous owner can't still access our data when we buy a used car?
Here are steps you MUST take when you buy or sell a used car.
