The very worst offender is Nissan. The Japanese car manufacturer admits in their privacy policy to collecting a wide range of information, including sexual activity, health diagnosis data, and genetic data — but doesn’t specify how. They say they can share and sell consumers’ “preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes” to data brokers, law enforcement, and other third parties.

What the actual fuck

    and not before it was produced? press x to doubt they actually removed it... If there's no independent research and we can't have the CEO's own data, then take it with a big grain of salt

    I'm not sure what you mean, but I meant you could no longer find the bit about collecting sex related data on the nissan site after mozilla made that article. I read some of them before and I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure I read that section, but when I shared the article with people it was gone from the car maker site by then.

    They’re saying that corps barely give a shit about the law and will continue doing the thing, only they will stop telling people they are doing it. Then when they get caught for doing still doing it they will say ‘oh no we are so sorry’ and pay the meaninglessly small fine attached to it. And then still continue to do the thing.
