There's also things that are private, but not necessarily deeply secret. There's also things that are completely legal, but morally questionable, at least in your social circles, and if that information was to leak out it would be harmful.
With the VW data leak I was pretty horrified that VW either doesn't understand or don't care that leaking location data isn't just privacy invading, it's potentially dangerous for victims of stalking and abuse. In the mildest cases these people may need to move, in the worst they die.
Car companies seem completely oblivious to the dangers of collecting driving data.
Naming this "oblivious" hides ill intent. And by that I mean, I assume they knew and know exactly the possible implications and decided to throw everybody under the bus for shareholder value. Am I wrong to assume this?
