With how china keeps implanting everything with spyware, I agree to keep them away from the heavy tech incorporated cars. Really wish we could transition away from using chinese shit

All auto manufacturers put spyware in their cars now. This isn’t a china problem, this is an everyone problem. We need anti-spyware laws that apply to everyone.

I agree, but in the meantime lets not make it that easy…

Oh? More spyware than GM selling your data to your insurance company? More spyware than all of the stuff your smartphone collects?

It’s absolutely a bad faith argument to say we can’t have Chinese cars because they conduct industry standard data scraping.

The whataboutism doesn’t help. It’s a wrong practice regardless of nationality. But since the house and senate is bought by the corporations, at the very least ban those who you can.

It’s not a whataboutism when that’s the other choice. This isn’t out of left field. I can buy Chinese data scraping, Japanese data scraping, Korean data scraping, German data scraping, or American data scraping.

Right now Germany actually wins that contest because GDPR just might have an impact.

A whataboutism would be me talking about American labor practices in farming. Not great, but also not relevant.
