That was a very scary and dystopian read, but thank you!

Honestly, I figured that they collected data. But I didn't think the extent of it would be stuff like my sex life and genetic data. How the hell do those work?

[-] dansity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 months ago

They track you and then different kind of tools are trying to profile you based on your data. Similarly how ads work on the internet. Saying your car collect data of your sex life more like means they collect absolutely everything about you and then they run it through different software to profile you then sell all this data for extra profit. If you daily drive to a school they will assume you have a family and kids. If you go to a random apartment complex once a week after your kids went sleep they will assume you have a mistress. Its all based on location data and the stuff you enetered during registration.

They can also track who your devices are near. If your phone sits next to someone else's in an office building for nearly 8 hours a day and they know that persons job they can infer yours, especially since departments tend to sit together. Ad companies often assume recurring groups of people share overlapping interests (hence why their together multiple times) and will push out ads based on what other people around you are interested in to see if you are too.

Interesting. Makes a lot of sense, though it sucks that it's all based on assumptions because it sounds like it can easily be mistaken for a lot of things.

That's how most of them work. I got baby toys for a friend's baby and the Internet started trying to sell me all kinds of baby things. You listen to a lot of podcasts about craft beer? They assume you're a 40 year old white dude who needs beard oil.

I'm betting the sex tracking is more about the pressure sensors in the seats for the seatbelt warning system.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

I’m guessing if you talk about that stuff in your car, it send that data home.

Oh that makes more sense.

My mind went to a completely different approach, collecting your data when you fuck someone in the car. Length of sex, moaning volume and pumps per minutes is what I was thinking of.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Hahaha I like that idea better.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Mozilla lied.
