Not a surprise. For how many years have we known that OnStar could be turned on, without your knowledge or permission, to listen to whatever happens inside your car?

These pukes work for us remember? The politicians need to be voted out and the bureaucracies defunded until they respect our constitutional rights.
They shut my aunts car off by accident one time. She had used her onstar for directions and instead of giving her directions they activated the theft alert and turned her car off while she was on the highway.

The last GM car I bought came with OnStar. The first thing I did when I got home, was to unplug the module and set it on the shelf in the garage. It stayed there until I traded in the car. Just reading their agreement / terms of service document will send chills down your spine. Thanks, but no thanks. I was happy to give up the Bluetooth integration and speakerphone functions in exchange for not allowing complete, wireless control over my vehicle.

Big Brother has pretty much been built-in to almost all technologies since the mid 90s.
There's a VOIP program called TeasmSpeak, used pretty extensively by gamers. Apparently one of the reasons they upgraded from TS2 to TS3 was that in some countries, it's illegal to use a VOIP program that doesn't have a built-in government back door, which TS2 lacked.
I'd like to know which countries those are, and if ours is one of them...
Yes! Now I have an audience when I sing in the shower!

But what would you have done if your car were stolen by a crazy right wing extremist hell bent on working hard and supporting his family without government assistance. They wouldn't even know it because you wouldn't let them listen in to insure your safety. Wouldn't even be able to track your GPS.
I would like to see their faces when they turn my camera on and see my poop face
