Rep. Seth Moulten: "While Democrats in tough seats are staring down MAGA opponents, Sen. Chuck Schumer and the Washington DC establishment are throwing money at a safe seat to bail out Sen. Markey in Massachusetts. Will Ed Markey return the money and help Democrats win these tough seats? This is what 50 years in Washington DC does to a person."

Here's a lot of reading.

In a letter to the Federal Trade Commission( #FTC ) last week, Senators Ron #Wyden and Edward #Markey urged the FTC to 🔸investigate several car companies caught selling and sharing customer information without clear consent. 🔸
Alongside details previously gathered from reporting by The New York Times, the letter also showcases exactly how much this data is worth to the car companies selling this information.
Car companies collect a lot of data about driving behavior, ranging from how often you break to how rapidly you accelerate.
This data can then be sold off to a data broker or directly to an insurance company, where it’s used to calculate a driver’s riskiness, and adjust insurance rates accordingly. This surveillance is often defended by its promoters as a way to get discounts on insurance, but that rarely addresses the fact your insurance rates may actually go up.
If your car is connected to the internet or has an app, you may have inadvertently “#agreed” to this type of data sharing when setting it up #without #realizing it.
The Senators’ letter asserts that #Hyundai shares drivers’ data without seeking their informed consent, and that #GM and #Honda used deceptive practices during signup.
The letter also reveals that while GM stopped sharing driving data after The New York Times’ investigation, it did not stop sharing #location data, which it’s been sharing for #yearshttps://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/07/senators-expose-car-companies-terrible-data-privacy-practices
