      You can jailbreak it by not telling the employees at the car dealership about your sex life. People at the company are allowed to collect your information and record it. The cars don’t collect anything about ethnicity, sex, etc. They do collect driving data.

      When you take your car in to be serviced, Nissan employees can jot down that you were a white, male or such. Then if someone looks to purchase said information, Nissan will sell it to them.

      There isn’t some super secret hidden agenda people seem to think there is. The agenda is as it always has been. Build the cheapest item that we can sell to the most people legally. They make things “nice” to the cheapest extent possible based around figuring out how much people actually care about things. If 95% of populous would choose a car without a stereo system and still be able to sell it at the same price they would. If they knew people would pay $500 to have that stereo system they would add it in the cheapest way possible. If they expect x% of people will buy it, Then they will find the way to install x% for the cheapest price. Might mean all of the cars come with the wires already ran in the vehicles and the speakers and receiver aren’t there. Or could have all the speakers if the % is high and just the faceplate is removed. They don’t give a fuck about you. They never will. You aren’t money, just 1 source to get it from. Their job is to get you to hand them that money, and then keep you on a leash in the corner to milk more money out of you until eventually they can sell you another product.

      The narrative on lemmy is to trust Mozilla, we shouldn’t. They are human, and therefore will write an article saying whatever they want to garner attention and get paid for said article. A company is an investment. Even if one is a non-profit or a charity, people have invested time and money into it. Whether you think sunk cost or just that someone won’t have a job the next day. They are human. Their next meal is more important than the feelings of people they don’t know.
