Your car (EVERY CAR) has been spying on you since 2016. Every brake. Every acceleration. Every location. Every three seconds — recorded. Then sold to data brokers you've never heard of, who built a score on you and sold it to your insurance company, who raised your rates. And nobody told you.
GM just got hit with the largest privacy fine in California history — $12.75 million. They made $20 million selling your data. Do that math.
Not one dollar goes back to the drivers affected. The fine goes to the state. You get nothing.
This isn't just GM. Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Honda, Ford, Ram, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, Maserati — if you drove one of these between 2016 and 2024, your data was in the system.
Nebraska filed. Arkansas filed. Texas filed. Iowa filed. A federal class action covering 16 million drivers is still moving through court right now.
They got caught. They still came out ahead. And every other automaker is watching to see if the fine was worth doing it themselves.
