Automakers Sold Driver Data for Pennies, Senators Say | Ron Wyden and Edward Markey urged the F.T.C. to investigate how car companies handled the data from millions of car owners.
  • More that peoples' movement data isn't worth much, so it wouldn't be a big deal to impose legal requirements on keeping it private.

    This is timely in light of JD Vance's comments about wanting to surveil the body of every woman in America. I just dropped a new investigation into car companies selling off your private location data to shady data brokers. The case for federal privacy legislation has never been stronger.

    Speculation Swirls About What Hit Trump. An Analysis Suggests It was a Bullet
