overwhelm the brain with input. to hold onto threads like this one, you have to be fairly healthy or fairly mad.

not strapping on tin foil hat, this likely isn’t some massive coordinated effort. it could be done “better.”

this is just making the most of the situation. at scale.

if you simplify the question, “Who wants to let their car manufacturer surveil them?” - the answer is also simple. very few hands are going to be raised.

most people don’t get the tl;dr - they drown in the firehose.

what isn’t out there is a friendly, accessible version of what you’re looking for - multi-manufacturer information on snipping the sensors, why and how, and what you lose in the exchange. if it is out there, it isn’t friendly enough to be readily found.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting here.

people are tired, stretched thin, even in the most powerful nations. information access has become so ubiquitous that it has become more challenging to filter than to find.

for many people, there are far more pressing concerns to address than if nissan knows how the back seat was used last night. they would need the time and space to slow down and consider the information, and likely have means to do something, for it to elicit a response. some people would love to have the issue, that would imply having means to get a new car. no, they wouldn’t love the issue, but it is out of reach, so it isn’t deemed worth the effort spent.

right now it’s like saying your cell phone spies on you. most people won’t be getting rid of their phones. some might get foil bags.

faraday cage around your car, on the other hand, isn’t happening.

None of that matters when the info is either routinely sold to others with more time and motivation on their hands, or simply leaked to the public whether on purpose or not.

how are they contradictory?
