The fact that a car collects any data makes me raise an eyebrow... I prefer to stick with a car without any infotainment systems or Bluetooth even.

I just assume that any device with cameras and/or microphones are recording, saving, and sharing all info collected with whomever is paying. I'm willing to wager I'm right more often than I'm wrong.

All cameras are recording and all mics are hot. That’s always been the only safe assumption. In the Age of Little Brother, it may be the only sane one.

I completely agree, but I think it’s still interesting to see that Mozilla kind of exaggerated on this one.
