Mentioning safety in Korea is irrelevant. Kia and Hyundai cars in Canada (and other countries) are sold with an immobilizer, and don't have this ignition switch security vulnerability prevalent in the U.S. model.

Additionally, TikTok must be scrutinized/penalized for distributing this "educational" material. Their algos have a strong influence on teens. This content doesn't appear to exist on Youtube (I just did a quick search). Meanwhile, in China, you are censored for merely sharing photos of Winnie the Pooh on Douyin.

Penalized for showing an exploit?

If someone posts an exploit on Github and it's taken down people get upset. This is the same and Kia and Hyundai would do nothing about it without the publicity they got from the viral TikTok.

Could be worse and insurance companies claim the owner left the car open so it's their fault the car was stolen.

Penalising letting people freely communicate seems like a cure worse than the disease.

Yes, we should censor and prosecute people like China does for revealing unpalatable truths.

That's sure to solve our problems with corporations that have been disincentivized to include basic safety mechanisms because of inadequate regulations and/or corporate lobbying.

I'm reminded of the joke headline (usually about mass shootings):

'No Way to Prevent This', Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.
