Berla’s software makes it impossible for vehicle owners to access their communications and call logs but does provide law enforcement with access

But it's immediately followed up with

Many car manufacturers are selling car owners’ data to advertisers as a revenue boosting tactic

Pretty much all new cars being sold today, most cars in the last 5 years, and a large percentage of cars sold in the last 10 all have some sort of cellular modem that reports back to home base with all sorts of info, then they turn around and sell it.

Most private app for Lemmy

I can't imagine that any app that currently exists gives a shit about exploiting your data. Lemmy is too young for that to really be a problem.

The real problem is that nothing on lemmy is private because of it's federated design. There have been some discussions the last few weeks talking about this, but just about every interaction you do is broadcasted out to every instance, and its social media so of course anyone can see what you post. Things like viewed posts and saved content should stay on your instances server, but assume every other action is public.
