I have obtained an email from GM stating that if I am an OnStar Smart Driver subscriber, I cannot opt out of my data being shared. I believe this violates at least California privacy regulations, probably some other states, which mandate opt outs. I seriously want to rip the modem out of my car.
Well you can file a CCPA violation complaint with the state AG. Especially because a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link is mandatory.

Some lawyer at GM is reading this and saying, "No private right of action FTW, suckaaaaaaa"
Perhaps. This thing might be an easy win for a regulatory agency looking to establish itself though.
Nobody in the privacy world is really holding their breath on the CPPA but maybe this could be the one!
