EU Parliament Decides That Your Private Messages Must Not Be Scanned
I guess I fundamentally misunderstand what’s going on here…
If you want to use your phone hands free thtough the info-tainment system, it kind of NEEDS to have access to your calls, contacts, and texts, yeah?
You do NOT need to STORE any of this information in order to use your phone hands free. AT ALL.
It should be able to access them from your phone instead of the cell service.
Using the word ‘intercepts’ makes it sound like they’re doing the latter, although that may not be the case.
Yeah, it sounds to me like if a call or text comes to your phone, the car catches it before it reaches your phone because the two are connected and the car has priority access.
How stringent is the WPA standard anyway? The texts have to be stolen at gunpoint for the express purpose of jerking off to stolen dicktures?
Can we just buy this asshole’s data and do something funny with it ourselves?
Judge r00ty has ruled that it’s fine for you to do this.
Judges who take any kind of compensation from large corporations should be stripped of their skin and left to publicly bleed out on display for the world, a constant supply of lemon juice and vinegar showering them.
Your texts are not the property of the auto makers. Guess auto companies don’t want you to go hands free. Could open all kinds of extra law suits. Save a dollar and lose a thousand.
