    I’m not an american. I live in the EU, and I think this is the least bad place when looking at digital rights.

    Why then do you call Europe “they” instead of we? “and now they’ll keep allowing it for the chinese”
    If you think car cameras are used for surveillance, it’s not just electric cars, but is in ALL new cars from all countries.
    So what was the point really of you previous comment???

      Why then do you call Europe “they” instead of we?

      Because in my mind it’s not a social decision but a political decision, and politicians are “they”.

      If you think car cameras are used for surveillance, it’s not just electric cars, but is in ALL new cars from all countries.

      I did not intend to limit my criticism to electric cars.
