Anyone annoyed with selling out your privacy?

[Tunagates]

Hey guys - as time goes by, I hate the idea more and more that Ford can effectively make your vehicle a paper weight at the drop of a hat. Not to mention track your location, listen in on your conversations etc. Yeah, people say Ford wouldn’t do anything unless you didn’t pay your bills etc, but that’s the same mentality that kept the patriot act in tact. We constantly give up our privacy for convenience and in this case, there isn’t much convenience to having ford pump updates to your truck (unless the updates are keeping the car alive, which is another problem all together). Is there any way to sever Ford’s access to your vehicle and still have your truck function? It’s got me looking at classic cars / trucks all weekend. I miss when driving was just you and your metal on metal machine, not a fucking computer. I would pay a premium for an “off the grid” bronco trim.

If you own a smart phone, you have no privacy.

Based on all the gripes on this forum, Broncos turn into paper weights all the time without any intervention.

If you really want to get worked up, read up on facebooks shadow profiles. They’re watching even if you opt out on participating.

When this thread gets deleted, does this post still get added to my post count?

In similar threads before it was suggested to pull the SIM or the fuse.

We haven’t privacy for some time now - this generation hasn’t even experienced it.

Just bc in many places it isn’t available doesn’t mean people should give up the fight.

Did not sign up for the pass app, had my updates done at the dealer.

I take comfort knowing whomever or whatever tracks my everyday existence will be bored beyond tears.

I do not like that companies listen but I am less concerned about them trying to sell me something than the (or any) government listening or knowing these things.
