Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

This is why I scream curses constantly inside my car. Go ahead and mine that data fuckwads. You're gonna learn I fucking hate NJ drivers.
Naw, stupid easy for automated systems to clean up.
Your life, activities, and habits will be mined by machines in order to target to and to adjust and mold your habits to best fit ~~your masters~~ whoever wants your loyalty in ways sometimes imperceptible to you.
Consumed by companies and governments alike to target people both for monitization, and for enforcement action against the laws or political views at the time. Purchased by employers or potential employers to monitor and analyze your personal life and habits, to determine whether you are or are going to be a good worker bee. Shared with health providers and insurance companies so they can determine how and when they need to deny you service or care.
Mentioned something bad about the company CEO on the drive? Shouldn't have done that. Talked about a pre-existing condition with your spouse? Shouldn't have done that. Talked about your kids mental health problems in the car? Welp, now anyone with $ knows too for the rest of their life.
You don't want your detailed data in the hands of tyrants, it will be used against you or others near you.
(Yes, everything I mentioned here already happens to some degree, yes employers can and do purchase your data from data brokers to judge your personal life. Yes health insurance will do everything within their power to deny anything they can)
Until they sell that data to your auto insurance company.
WYM until? https://www.reddit.com/r/GenesisMotors/comments/1fcs5hc/automakers_are_selling_your_driving_data_to/
