they will legalize the illegal data collection and give them a big resounding slap on the wrist
Yes, laws don’t work, libre software does.
Only works because these cars come infected with anti-libre software by design (bans us from removing malicious source code) because people don’t see this attack. Target anti-libre multiplayer software, file formats (Microsoft Office/Photoshop), socials (YouTube -> NewPipe) and chat (WhatsApp/Discord). This is the best ROI to create openings to blackpill normies on anti-libre software.
So, the only thing that will change will either be a tiny EULA on the underside of the car, or car companies will hire better security teams to keep the data collection hidden.
Or they will end up charged by the FTC later down the road.
These days companies see fines as just a little fee for doing business.
We’ve seen fines for other companies.
Worst case, they have to.pay, what. 10% of their earnings back as fines? That’s still definitely worth it to them.
Just reinforcing the do first, apologize later mentality. They’ll get away with as much as they possibly can, then drop an “I’m sowwy” like a BP CEO in South Park.

Not even an apology. They’ll spend money smearing the FTC leader. And call it a witch hunt. And publicize all the people who will lose their jobs if the company has to pay these fines.
And they are hedging their bets that Trump becomes president and the FTC gets gutted, so there won’t be any fines anyway.
