Ron Wyden and Edward Markey urged the F.T.C. to investigate how car companies handled the data from millions of car owners.

    I think it’s really sad how people lose the plot and go and go on murderous rampages against ethnic/sexual/random/political minorities when insurers are sitting right there the whole time.

      I’ve always somewhat disliked single issue voters, only to become one and would vote for pro-privacy candidates… If any existed.

        You don’t have a pirate party in your country? Maybe you can start a local chapter

          Oh, I like this idea. 7 seas PAC, endorsed by anonymous,

          “We want you to download cars!!!” as a slogan

            Pirate party is a legitimate party in many countries. Its not a joke. They fight for human rights and data protection laws.

              Thank you for further context. I would love to see this spread. Privacy in the US is like smoking in the 50’s, we all know, but no one cares because the cancer hasn’t metastasized yet.
