Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Chinese chips in the cars can be designed to be hacked from afar to turn them into espionage machines.

And when you connect your phone to the onboard system, now your phone gets jacked.

It's nightmare fuel for security.

Bummer because we need more cheap EV's.

*nation-state chips

Saying that the good ol' America aren't doing the same is keeping your head in the sand.

*Big* Tech really falls into the devil you know vs the devil you don't. Their all shit sandwiches, take your pick or go hungry.

Not yelling at clouds, just being realistic.

About your connecting phones to cars, you'll have to allow perms as to what data is shared right? My 2011 VW has Android Auto, but no onboard Sim, how are VW making off with my data?

EDIT: Above between **, see below for further information.

Teslas were banned in areas of China for the same reasons as @[email protected] mentioned here. https://searx.tiekoetter.com/search?q=tesla+china+bans

To quote an article:

" Tesla cars face more entry bans in China as 'security concerns' accelerate. TAIPEI/BEIJING -- Tesla drivers in China are facing entry restrictions at more government-affiliated venues, including meeting halls and exhibition centers, due to data security concerns amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Beijing.24 Jan 2024 "
