If You’ve Got a New Car, It’s a Data Privacy Nightmare

The problem is that the private companies tracking you can be compelled (if they don't voluntarily) give up your tracking data to the government.

Stopping government tracking starts with stopping private industry tracking, as the latter is happy to give it away/sell the data or can be forced to by law.

I agree with your premise, but disagree with your conclusion.

Yes, of course data that goes to the corporations gets scooped up by the government.

But we need to stay laser focused on the main goal of maintaining privacy from our government, which may include efforts at privacy from corporations.
