Right. But I'm in a contract with the folks collecting that data. Either Thru terms of service or use agreements, technically, I've agreed to all of them, weather I understand all the data that is being collected or not.

However, the government intercepting that data and using it to track my location is a wholly different matter.

Some politician will bill this as protecting you against bad people. People will bite the hook.

Has happened for decades.

Government will just contract with those phone and app companies with whom you signed away all of your privacy, either knowingly or not.

The only way around this is to get a dumb phone. Or potentially turn your phone off while you drive.

Are you still believing in that right/left thing?
Right/Left, black/white, straight/gay are the distraction while they're all working together and increasing the wealth gap.

Not to mention the Big 3 automakers meeting with Trump last week to push for no right to repair a vehicle you purchased.

They are already doing this. Tracking your phone then real-time selling ad space based on demographics of travelers.

A bunch of sci fi movies based in the future predicted this, or a version of it. And I agree, that is what's coming.

Also I think you'll start getting ads pop up on your cars screen as you approach certain businesses. "Turn left in 1 mile for 2 for 1 burritos!"

I believe in globalists (collectivists) vs nationalists (individual rights).

What I want to hear is from anyone who wants to justify why this is something someone (particularly in a red state) should want or tolerate?

I don't think that would be legal. There's a reason the government has to get a court order/search warrant to get information from phone companies about your devices and that reason is the 4th amendment. And in fact, to their credit, most tech companies have been very protective of their customers in these situations.

However, my phone and any other personal electronic devices are owned by me. Extracting information from those, to me, would raise serious 4th amendment questions.

I don't think it's getting info from your phone per say. But it's tracking and logging the signals that your phone, etc. is constantly sending out. So technically you're sending the signals, they're just analyzing them.

Even if you're traveling with everything in a faraday bag. There's still the computer in the car.

Selling your data is different from this. Once one company crosses the line the rest do.

It's coming. Just a matter of time.

Are you laughing at the degree to which those individual rights have been discarded by so called conservatives (who are mostly just globalists pretending to be conservatives IMO) in DC or at the definition itself?

Dumb car, dumb phone.

Then they'll just have the license plate and still know generally the places you go and how fast you're going (once LPRs are everywhere)
