I just want to say that I'm so happy that people are taking notice of privacy concerns in cars (lemmy.world)

Mozilla released their studies, and I'm seeing a growing number of posts on the Internet about cars and the privacy nightmare they entail. I remember how this issue wasn't talked about earlier because "just buy an older car" was still prevalent. I'm so happy that people are taking notice. Thank you to this community and Mozilla for the work they are putting in!

Good points, and I'm sorry to hear that's happening in your area man.

If your city doesn’t already do this, they will soon.

I mean... I just explained why my city did away with fares entirely, so I don't know about that.

I didn't mean "your" as in you specifically, but other people (edit: in fact, most people around the world still have to pay fares) who might be reading this and still live in a place that charges fares.

Which is absolutely a fair take, it's definitely happening in places, just thankfully not everywhere. Hopefully talking about it can lead more people to get involved in local politics and try to fight implementation of such systems. Thanks for informing me.
