Many car companies now make cars that track where they go. The companies are trying to make this acceptable with weak promises about what they will do with the data.

Those policies are irrelevant because real protection for the driver's privacy consists of not tracking the car in the first place. If you own a car, make sure its tracking hardware is deactivated.

Always-listening, always-watching computers are supposedly meant to serve people, but when they're full of nonfree software they are actually tools to subjugate people.

Everyone: sign up to boycott Amazon.

I gave this as my additional statement.

There are additional reasons to refuse to buy from Amazon. It keeps a database of what people buy, and does not accept cash. Amazon ebooks are a surveillance system and Amazon can erase them remotely: see stallman.org/ebooks.pdf.

See also stallman.org/amazon.html for more bad things Amazon does.

Thus, I agree to boycott Amazon, but it won't change anything, since I'd never consider buying from an organization that treated me that way, even if it didn't abuse its workers and evade taxes.
