California, Privacy, Cars, and Domestic Abuse!
#news #privacy #usa
Cars have computers these days, so they can be tracked much easier. In recent months, there have been reports of some people abusing the tracking system for finding and harassing their partners who were already subject to domestic abuse. These reports concerned the officials of the US🚨
The governor of California has signed a bill that requires carmakers to create a simple process that allows the owner of a car to disable tracking from inside the car. They are also required to make it clear if a car has remote access, and how to disable it, before the customers make their purchase.
Hopefully, such data privacy laws are going to make it a bit safer in an era where everything can be disclosed if left unattended.
