You bought a car with always-on cameras and always-on telemetry. What did you expect?

Piss off with this low grade comment. Obviously nobody expected that Tesla employees would be sharing photos of them fucking in their work chats for their own amusement.

There always will be such employees, probably most of them are never find out or not made public.

This is a horrifying view of the world even on its face, but also: even if we anticipate that people might do the wrong thing, it is still wrong and it is still appropriate to condemn that wrong and call for justice.

Wake me up when there's an EV that is just a car and not an always-connected surveillance device on wheels.

Wake up. I'm told Tesla has an undocumented factory option to buy a car without radios, for heads of state and their security and suchlike.

I'm not sure how difficult or possible it is to actually get a car so configured, but you can always rip out the GSM radio yourself if you wish (which voids your warranty, natch).

I’d expect that they don’t let employees have “easy access to the cameras' output” and for them to be able to share them “freely with other employees”. Are you really victim blaming here? Nasty.

Sure sounds like it.

There will always be such employees, which is why actually privacy-minded companies strictly limits access to personal information, and carefully monitors the access of it.
