Re: Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customer cars
#182Reminds me of the time I bought lunch at work, and a colleague told me exactly what I bought and how much I paid for it. I called him out and said it was a lucky guess, and then he proceeded to tell me my entire payment history for the past 2 days. Turns out when I was buying lunch, he was on the phone with a friend who worked at Paytm and that guy gave away my transaction history for shits and giggles. My trust in p…
I feel conflicted whenever I see a comment like this. On the one hand, let's assume it's true: a Paytm employee acted negligently. But on the other hand, what if it's not true? What if you happen to have a friend or family member who works for a Paytm competitor, or you have some grudge against Paytm for whatever reason, and are instead spreading low-key FUD about the company to make it seem like they have lax data c…
Given what I've seen I have absolutely no problem believing this. If you don't then that's fine but that simply means you've been living a sheltered life. Have a look at the GDPR enforcement tables for some choice violations.

when it comes to security you should always assume the worst intentions, if you can think of it as possible somebody is probably doing it. This is why nobody trusted the NSA and they were proven right with the Snowden stuff

#184Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm so glad I've never heard of that service and have no idea what it is. Thanks very much for calling them out by name, BTW. Presumably someone from that company is reading this as we speak - and soon enough, will be reporting back to us that that employee has been identified, and of course, duly fired. Right, PayTM? (BTW - that's some "colleague" you have).
Are you suggesting that Paytm is actually PayPal/Venmo?
No, just that I don't run any of these surveillance apps unless I absolutely have to.
And hence, am unfamiliar with the vast majority of them.

#185This is absolutely disgusting to hear. Can you imagine if Apple or Google employees were caught doing something like this with photos/videos taken with their products?
Absolutely. Just like Amazon, Facebook, Uber, NSA and other employees have done so as well. The only reason Apple or Google employees might not do that is encryption and decent access controls, not because they are better people. It would not shock me in the least if a Google or Apple employee did something similar. It might shock me a little just because of the risk/reward if they were just snooping on random people…
Apple would be the most shocking, given their ingrained company culture of secrecy and compartmentalization.

#187The article mentions disrespectful locker room joking behavior around the images. I didn't see the article touch on that this alleged mockery of "your privacy is important to us" might also include employees/contractors/partners/etc. able to use this private data Tesla collected for targeted purposes. Such as stalking a particular person (because, e.g., attracted to, obsessed with, hated, in dispute with), or selling…
...we value your privacy, especially your most private moments, in fact the more private the better...

#188Wake me up when there's an EV that is just a car and not an always-connected surveillance device on wheels.
A Leaf.

#189Wanted to get Model Y in the past. Nice comfy car, huge backseat and… a camera filming inside the car. Thanks no. Apparently for drowsiness detection, but I am not buying it. Time of flight camera staring at the driver’s face is kinda normal in car industry. Not a normal color camera filming everything and streaming somewhere like Tesla does.
Get a German car. Privacy is taken extremely seriously here in Germany. In all walks of life. Companies, schools, doctor‘s offices, etc. Edit: I wouldn’t want to touch a Tesla even if it was gifted to me. Seeing the founder behave the way he does (latest incident: Changing Twitter’s logo to a shitcoins image) makes him extremely unsympathetic to me.
Tesla motors was incorporated/founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning and not Musk

On paper. But there are plenty of examples of companies doing things that they shouldn't be doing.
