A car dealer is not going to pass up a sale because the customer won't agree to the manufacturer collecting and selling the customers data.

Sure with software the company can just prevent you from using their product. But a physical item such as a vehicle? Please.

Besides GM was order to allow people to opt-out. They can't force data collection on you like Google can.

Says you. The microplastic in my veins has been enhancing my body since before I was conceived.

I don't think that's a good comparison. If a person doesn't follow a diet plan, then they are not on a diet. The diet plans effectiveness isn't brought into question in that case.

If a "Christian" goes to church, is told they are saved and are absolved of all their sins. And then spreads their toxicity and hatred around the world. That absolutely allows the rest of us to judge their belief system.

That goes without saying. And I'm at the point where if people don't care enough to check that kind of stuff, then I don't care enough to worry about them.

The settlement also requires GM to obtain consent from customers before collecting their driving behavior data, and allow them to request and delete their data if they choose.

I'm convinced the reason all my drives used to fail is because I would leave the PC on, and only reboot for updates. Otherwise I would just put them to sleep. Three years later, I turn off the PC every night and haven't had a failed drive since.

Not without exposing the status quo. Curing the disease will mean they loose out on future income. Bandaids only in America.

Are you asking how they voted for the merger? They weren't allowed to vote.

Are you asking how they voted during the election last year? I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with dump.

That's what the question should be, yes. But now it's only used if corporate America is the target. Actual acts of terrorism against us degens is just another Tuesday.

I can't recall a year that was "good." Just "not as bad" or "acceptable."

This is the first I heard about it at all.

Just checked, it's in one theater an hour and a half away from me. That combined with it being an animation, no wonder it did poorly.
