Subject: Re: Onstar... big brother... and other random thoughts by JrRifleCoach on 2011/9/27 23:13:47 In the face of a full-on revolt from users and pressure from Drudge Report and other media outlets, General Motors' OnStar service just announced it was reversing plans to keep tracking vehicles of its 6 million subscribers if they cancel the service. Now once it's off, it's off. OnStar said it wanted to keep the connection alive to offer new services and alert vehicle owners in case of emergency or recalls but also said it reserved the right to share or sell anonymous data about the vehicles it tracked to outsiders, including government agencies and marketers. |
