Inb4 he gets an all-expenses-paid vacation from a "friend" who just happens to also work for a car manufacturer, after which he conspicuously "finds nothing wrong."

That's how the Conservative judiciary works, right?

He could also be getting paid by the license plate scanner companies for keeping the competition out of the market.

Knowing that man he's trying to sell himself to the highest bidder.

Or he's just mad that it's the insurance companies and not the state getting all that sweet, sweet data. This may just be his way of letting the automakers know he wants a cut. Think how many pregnant women could be oppressed if their cars narc on them for visiting Planned Parenthood.

Goddammit, you may be right. 1984, here we come.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


SAN ANTONIO – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating multiple car manufacturing companies after reports that they have secretly collected driver data and sold it to third parties.

Paxton’s office said the reports noted that massive amounts of data were sold to insurance providers.

“The technology in modern vehicles enables manufacturers to collect millions of data points about the people driving them,” Paxton said.

“Recently, consumers have grown extremely concerned that their driving data is being reported to their insurance company without their knowledge or authorization.

These reports of the invasive and unmitigated collection and sale of data without consumer consent are disturbing, and they merit a thorough investigation and appropriate enforcement.”

Paxton’s office said the manufacturers and third parties were instructed to show records relevant to their conduct.

Yeah, but now you’re in Seattle and it’s… Seattle

Homeless, crime, traffic, drugs, leftists.

Yeah, Seattle is so fantastic.

Klystron ,

Yup, all things Texas has solved in spades. Texas is such a utopia!

Deftdrummer ,

Imagine acting as if Seattle has anything going for it. Something tells me you live in neither and haven’t a clue.

Klystron ,

No you’re completely right. Seattle is a hopeless city and we should just mow it down and restart. And as a veteran, definitely never been to Texas which has the second biggest military population in the nation nor the Pacific Northwest which has multiple army, air force, and navy installations. Thanks for letting me know!
