Cars collect a lot of our personal data, and car companies disclose a lot of that data to third parties. It’s often unclear what’s being collected, and what's being shared and with whom. A recent New York Times article highlighted how data is shared by G.M. with insurance companies, sometimes without clear knowledge from the driver. If you're curious about what your car knows about you, you might be able to find out. In some cases, you may even be able to opt out of some of that sharing of data.

See, that's the issue. The reason why we have all these streaming services, with nothing on them, is because people just don't care. They'll still sub to 8 of them at the same time, just like they'll get a car from a brand that's fucked them over before. A boycott implies that people don't live life on autopilot
