If you are a privacy advocate and driving a Tesla, you are a grifter. This isn’t, “You can’t criticize capitalism while being in a capitalistic system.” Tesla is one product among hundreds of consumer choices. They are choosing to drive around with the equivalent of 9 Ring and Flock cameras taped to themselves.

I do like Rob’s content occasionally, whenever he doesn’t repeat, that which he has discussed a million times before. But yes, I totally agree with the rest of the comment.

> Tesla is one product among hundreds of consumer choices. Reminds me,... I have heard priv advocates propose a consumer label. Like we have nutritions labels on food products but for privacy. Their idea is, there are so many products. It is almost impossible for average consumer to even know how much data their car, blutooth gizmo, or smart TV collects. With a mandatory label, they could be better informed. Companies could even compete on it. Just like car co's first *removed*ed about car safety features but later competed to have the best safety ratings. But that label idea would need teeth. Gov agencies tasked to test it. And enforce compliance. That's the hard part.
