TourGuide Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 I ran across this article on the blog of malwarebytes - it actually popped into my email as I have a subscription - about Ford filing a patent application for an IN VEHICLE eavesdropping system that will serve you targeted advertising. Blog post linked here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/09/ford-seeks-patent-for-conversation-based-advertising I have to say - IF this system comes to Ford - I would never be interested in owning another one of their products ever again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wubster100 Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 We need more laws to help keep consumer's data private. We need to block advertisements so that there is no point in collecting data to target ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourGuide Posted September 25 Author Report Share Posted September 25 Yes - the collection of personal data is out of control and has been for some time. The patterns are just more obvious now that you can see how they are being utilized. This little news item did enrage me since the idea that my automobile could be participating in this practice is a new frontier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
