No one tells you when you buy the car all of the shit you are agreeing to. This needs to be changed.

This car doesn't let you drive over 80mph. It reads speed limit signs and has a database apparently. The owners manual says it will provide that data to law enforcement.

This is insane. There needs to be awareness of this so people can, at the very least, know to ask before they buy. As it stands no one even knows this shit until they sign the papers and look at the owners manual.

People that don't actually know this or just accept it. Look at how many people use ring cameras and you can tell them that Amazon will hand the video footage to law enforcement , and they will say "oh yeah I have nothing to hide" or "Oh yeah but the camera is cheap"

The "nothing to hide" folks will probably change their tune when there's a massive data breach and now the darkweb knows what time your house is empty

I wish I could go back in time and slap whoever invented the phrase "nothing to hide."
