   @Zoomerman88 calling bullshit on this because there’s no way the phone could be linked to the person in a legally identifiable way just based on an Apple ID

     It's not the phone. The dude got it wrong; his kid linking his phone had nothing to do with it. Tacoma's and Tundra's with Safety Connect have permanent cell phone modems built into the car. They're under the glovebox and require a bypass harness to turn off (if you pull the fuse you lose the right speaker and Bluetooth). Louis Rossman covered it. GM and Toyota sell your data to Lexus Nexus.

     @djsumdog @Zoomerman88 Okay, and how does this magic cellular box know exactly who's driving, does it use magic 5G beams to download their social security numbers?
     
     Insurance companies aren't retarded, they wouldn't do something this drastic without being able to defend it in court

     hmm .. yea now that I'm reading again, the son part doesn't seem right. The 2024 vehicle does have tracking, but it's is tied to the vehicle owner. The turn-around for insurance data shouldn't be that fast either; it would be whenever renewal is. You're right, this one might be BS .. which is sad because there are enough real fucked up stories as it is.

     @sapphire @djsumdog @Zoomerman88 what actually does happen is "your insurance rate goes up because the person driving it was driving in a way the insurance companies don't like"

     So in this very particular case (the screenshot being from /r/conspiracy, which is now heavily censored and rarely has any good information), it seems unlikely this happened for the reasons I already mentioned. Sure the data might be collected, but building that relation between the guy who bought a new vehicle, with a name tied to a VIN having his son associated with sold insurance data and finding out immediately is all very unlikely.

     Also I think I was wrong earlier. GM was caught selling data to Lexus Nexus but it doesn't seem like Toyota has sold data to anywhere insurances companies have bought it (yet).

     I haven't heard that case from Netflix, but I do know they were able to buy some private messages from FB on their shows. (which is fucked up).

     As far as Snowjob; guy is an obvious CIA plant and disinfo bastard. His story doesn't add up in the least (CIA contractor turned NSA, with a six figure income working remote in Hawaii suddenly gains a conscience, somehow gets several laptops full of top secret information and takes it to the South Pacific to give to DerSpegiel and Glenn Greenwald? Then his smoking hot girlfriend decided to join him in Moscow? I got some beech front property to sell you in Idaho if you believe that guy). The Intercept was started in that era and they became a honeypot, with every whistleblower that came to them ending up in jail.

     @djsumdog @sapphire @Zoomerman88 They have digital IDs and Data profiles for everyone who has a google/apple/microsoft/netflix etc. They know what you say and what you watch. The know where you go and they can track you. The surveillance state is HUGE business. This is what Snowden was talking about.
     
     There is a new lawsuit against Netflix that they had been sharing and building people's internet usage profiles to track them. Selling their data to whomever (like insurance companies) youtu.be/ke-_Td1Eekg
     
     Whatever Big Tech's reasoning for doing this is bullshit. (That's so they can do it in the open) But we see the real result. Its not "Better television shows," its a better control on our wallet and lives.
     
     Look up Snowden Section 702.

     @StoleMyThundersBalls @djsumdog @Zoomerman88 Doesn't pass the sniff test. Companies don't need all of this information to sell me shit and the government obviously isn't listening in on everything I do because my door hasn't been busted down yet.

     I didn't realize it, or even think about it being fake, until years later. But when it happened, I migrated everything to my own e-mail servers, deleted several gmail accounts, moved my calendar/contacts over to a radicle server and made some big security changes. ... no one else seemed to care or give a shit though.

     @djsumdog @StoleMyThundersBalls @Zoomerman88 the NSA has been hardware backdooring backbone routers for decades, if you want to be secure you're gonna have to get off the internet. Everything you do uses NSA developed encryption and passes through NSA bugged routers.

     I've made my own routers for decades: https://battlepenguin.com/tech/installing-void-linux-with-a-serial-terminal/
     
     I also run a de-Googled phone and deleted my FB/Twitter/Insta three years ago. I run uBlock Origin and Ad Away(mobile). I know I'm still tracked and probably on a ton of lists, but I do a lot to reduce my tracking footprint. I probably have at least 30% less tracking data reported than normies.
     
     but I still make tradeoffs. I still use a credit card instead of cash everywhere. It's not about getting totally free, it's about doing what you can.

     Nope. And I pay for my cellphone with a credit card instead of cash for prepaid cards. Like I said I know I'm not going to get away from all of it. I know T-Mobile probably sells all my location data.
     
     Still, I'm gonna do what I can. No reason not to try.

     @djsumdog I work in automotive, Ford and Chrysler are doing this to. If everyone does it there is no reason not to. If they had reason to think enough people cared they'd advertise that their vehicle doesn't.
