--- Quote from: Mr. Scram on February 24, 2020, 10:03:59 pm ---Your reasoning could be used to store almost anything indefinitely. --- End quote --- Sure. --- Quote from: Mr. Scram on February 24, 2020, 10:03:59 pm ---If there's just a chance some of the data may be useful one day it could and should be stored. That's obviously flawed reasoning. Infringing on the privacy of thousands of innocents to maybe catch one perpetrator essentially means eliminating any and all protections the system provides. --- End quote --- No. Proper data analysis (both in scope and fairness) is the protection the system should provide. --- Quote from: Mr. Scram on February 24, 2020, 10:03:59 pm ---Why you don't want endless amounts of data on you exist is essentially the same reason you don't want to talk to the police whether you're innocent or not. Lawyers and investigators will tell you this. You're much more likely to be ensnared in something innocuous they think feel they can hold against you than to exonerate you. --- End quote --- Your example of why you shouldn't talk to police is valid in a world where there is no such data collection and police are motivated to "solve" crimes and close cases, even at the cost of prosecuting the innocent, however, in a scenario where there is global, all encompassing data collection, assuming you are innocent, data collection will more likely help to prove your innocence, or even stop that line of investigation before the law enforcement approaches you, and if they do come for you, just tell them you were asleep in your bed, and your IoT, iBed 3000 will happily print out your sleep schedule, hearth beat and blood pressure charts for the night in question, corroborated by the TurboChill smart fridge that logged you opening the door for 67 seconds and picking up the slightly expired orange juice, prompting you to buy new juice, which you agreed to by scanning your fingerprint, just as the murder was happening 20 city blocks away. Also, you were filmed drinking the juice straight from the carton, by your toaster. It would also help finding the real perpetrator before innocent people are accused of the crime. |

If you had a real option, I would risk losing my car if I don't use it every day, considering that 99% of thefts of that model car would be solved. |

Ford, GM, Chrysler, and other OEM's are working and have been actively working on selling this information for more than a decade. Ford has been selling this data from all of their SYNC enabled cars all over the place, State Farm is a big buyer. They are currently engaged in a large scale project to further parse and monetize this information. IMHO, this site needs a section dedicated specifically to this type of hack. I've been through my SYNC system out of some boredom. It's collecting... Everything... Including pictures from the front mounted camera. FYI to connect to it you need to connect a rather generic USB-to-ethernet adapter to the USB port. From there... You can figure it out ;-) |

Let's just put everyone in prison the moment they're born, lest they possibly do something illegal... :palm: This article is just a propaganda-piece for conditioning people to become used to constant surveillance... "Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither." |
