Your personal privacy is at risk.

"Your car has "unmatched power" to spy on you — and share the data",

"Cars ... 'have an unmatched power to watch, listen, and collect information about what you do and where you go,' ... [t]hat information is then shared with or sold to data brokers, law enforcement, and others."

"Out of 25 car brands studied by the Mozilla Foundation:
- 56% will share data with law enforcement in response to an informal request.
- 100% earned the foundation's 'privacy not included' warning label."

"The Nissan privacy notice says the company can share 'sensitive personal information, including driver's license number, national or state identification number, citizenship status, immigration status, race, national origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, sexual activity, precise geolocation, health diagnosis data, and genetic information.'"

@axios What?? Is this from and/or ? Why would choose to promote the agenda of a former US President/current 2024 candidate who is currently facing four criminal indictments?

Axios provides a perfect example of why polls are misleading.

, "36% of Americans approve of Biden's handling of the economy"
axios.com/2023/08/17/biden-app

"Share of people who say they approve of Biden's handling of select issues
Economy
- Democrat: 65%
- Republican: 8%
- Overall: 36%

Foreign Policy
- Democrat: 73%
- Republican: 10%
- Overall: 42%"

Poll Problems:
1. "Overall" is misleading since here it means the average between Democrats and Republicans.
2. Why aren't independents in the poll?
3. Can Republicans be trusted to give any credit to Biden since they are delusional with regard to the election outcome?

My polling skepticism in general: Polling can no longer get an accurate cross section of the electorate because people don't answer unknown cell numbers or emails, along with fraud and spam concerns people have.

Poll "Data: AP, NORC"

"There's plenty that a recent Bloomberg story got right" about Minneapolis' apartment boom — but it "largely misidentifies" what created it, reports. It wasn't triplexes, but the upzoning of transit corridors, that had the biggest impact axios.com/local/twin-cities/20
