As opposed to what your comment implies, the drivetrain (EV or ICE) has nothing to do with cars spying on you. You should not blame the technology itself because shady car companies spying on your internet connected car. Most of them are well known ICE car brands that do the spying (GM, Volkswagen for instance)

Yes, most new ICE cars are Internet connected now, not just EVs.

Blame those greedy corporations, not the technology.

Hackers? I heard it wasn't even password protected! The data bucket was publicly available! Gross negligence from Tea devs if you ask me.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem blaming both Apple and Microsoft. Corporations are not my friends 😁

tldr: if Apple does something bad, blame Microsoft?

It is too much pressure for Reddit to have this many users. They're doing their best to get rid of them. It's just too much to handle... Poor Reddit

To top up your comment, you can get the permissions required for each extension in Firefox for Android. Extension Manager --> click the extension --> Permissions

In the case of this specific extension, it requires access to the data of only 3 domains :

  • youtube.com
  • youtube-nocookie.com
  • vimeo.com

Many other extensions are far worst in regards to permissions that this one.

It is a good habit to check what are the permissions required before using any extension or phone apps for that matter.

Thanks for the reminder!

Penguinz0 just released a video about it and I have to admit that the character.ai AI are disturbingly convincing. They keep arguing they are real persons and, for vulnerable peole, you can get lost.

Definitely some gross negligence from the AI platform here in my honest opinion. It's easy to put some guardrails when you make a chatbot, but they didn't.

Btw, you don't know what the parents did and did not to help their son. I don't know either. So it's better to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Edit: I'm not an American and I would never understand why anyone would own guns.
