No doubt about this one. But, how much are the ubiquitous ride-for-hire e-scooters spying on you, and everyone else on the street?

It's where we are. Everything everywhere is collecting data and spying.

If it exists in a database, then the government has access to that database if it ever wants to legally or otherwise. It's been like that since 9:11 and probably before.

All we need now is for the right person to walk in and turn the key. We're lucky that Donald Trump is probably too stupid to understand what he's got under his thumb.

IIRC, Massachusetts passed a right-to-repair law a few years ago. Based upon the text of the law, all new cars purchased there have the spying disabled because they did not want to give up their proprietary info.

There have been a lot of court cases about that law by the manufacturers, so I do not know the status at this point.

So I wonder if that is still the case. If it is and an out of state person buys new there, will that "spying" remain disabled when they bring the car home ?

Theoretically, that should be a catch-22, right?

How would they know you're no longer in Massachusetts, without the spying enabled while within Massachusetts?

Is there anything we can do about it short of avoiding new cars? Our legislators have proven unwilling to pass real privacy laws.
