Car Owners Should Control Data Collected by Cars

It's your opinion, not place I'd say. Minority rights cannot be ethically eliminated by a majority vote.

To be honest, while I care about privacy in general, am not concerned about every little datum myself. In a healthy reality companies and governments would give us lots of options and control, let us opt-in. But that never happens does it? They'd prefer you'd not even be aware it's happening. Only when shamed in the media does a company even attempt to provide the appearance of options.

Why do you think that is? Because they sell your information, that's why.

If it weren't that fact I wouldn't be so hardline on the subject. But, it's the reality we live in.

Not sure I follow, as I do have a say in this as do you and every other person in this country :). To argue someone doesn't have to say is a tad weird.

Maybe you misread it? Otherwise is a straw-man.

Ok, think I understand now.

Wasn't trying to take away your rights, but rather the opposite. There's an old saying, "your rights end at the tip of my nose."
