Volkswagen has been collecting geolocation data from their smart cars, which were accidentally made public

Let's be 100% clear, all of these cars with "smart" features are collecting your data and selling it. Insurance companies are also buying this information and using it to raise premiums if they determine you a "bad driver." Also this could reveal info such as where you live if anyone is determined enought depending on the info if stores (such as geolocation data).

Basically I'm saying wrap your car in tinfoil

Claims in 'Duty To Warn' Letter to Harris Alleging Compromised Election Are Misleading

I wanted it to be true so bad, and sure there were some illegal actions taken (Elmo), it's not enough to overturn anything. It's okay to feel defeated, but not to ignore facts. We lost.

Side note, watch Veritasium's video on "smarter people get this question wrong", it talks about how your political position can blind your critical thinking skills and is important to remember. You can take nothing at face value, even your own thoughts.

To buy no longer means anything :(

There is a reason they deactivated the accounts, but it doesn't justify removing the ability to migrate at any time. For those interested:

The old mojang accounts were not secure, and there were millions of accounts that could be accessed without email ownership. This created a grey market for cheap Minecraft accounts. These cheap accounts were almost exclusively used to cheat on non-cracked servers, which sucked for a lot of players who did competitive Minecraft games on servers. The migration did fix this problem, by requiring access to the original email or answers to the security questions. Migrating your mojang account also gave access to the windows 10 version of the game. It probably should have been allowed forever, and I have no clue why they didn't.
