I think an argument should be made against normalizing this, which could then lead to OEMs building in internet assisted data export functionality in new cars and people won't know until a lawsuit (likely) starts years after the fact and the harm is done.

This is why I've taken a more and more grim look at technology and software, in particular.

Stallman was right, about nearly everything concerning power, companies and governments using it, and the role the citizen is viewed to have in such a limited capitalist view.

Without government mandates to open the source of every chip and firmware, none of the modern hardware we use is trustable.
