    I did literally that.

    The real solution is regulatory, though, because obviously my boycott has done absolutely fuck-all to change manufacturer behavior.

      yeah they know most people don’t know or don’t care, maybe selling the data from the telemetry to a data broker who on sells it to ICE might change some peoples minds…

      Or if ICE starts connecting to the telemetry modules directly on older less secure models…
