Sounds like any communicated data should be read-only. Reading out battery details is nice, but why is the brake not a mechanical feature? There should be a manual engine shut off button as a safety feature, but the ability to accelerate and brake are stupid things to have remotely. This is just a senseless attack vector waiting to be abused.
It's pretty unlikely that the Chinese are concerned with the locations of children in the US
I think that depends on whose kid it is. Kids often travel with their parents, so turning them into tracking devices might be interesting. Especially with the trade war with the USA, some kids might be an interesting target.
Won't the company be punished for massive privacy violations? In other words: can any other company do the same thing tomorrow and totally get away with such sloppy security? If it is your trade, ignorance is not an excuse. A company that sells communication devices must know how to secure them.
I think the British know perfectly well what thoughtcrime is. Yes, it could be used to check which areas needs more locks. However, criminals adapt much faster than statistics. All other implementations are very unbellythinkful.
When my parents ordered a takeaway meal at a Chinese restaurant in the Netherlands, they used to bring their own pans. It was pretty common to do that.
As the human genome as embedded entire viruses and bacterial genes can be transported by virus-like creatures (Phages), I would think this was old news.
More used is not more popular. As someone on Slashdot once said: JavaScript is as elegant as an oil tanker. Still, if you want to program a web site, you probably won't get around it.
That is still bad. A lot of tracking data is then still sent to servers that the user does not agree with. Every bit sent to a digital stalker is way too many.
If one really must see the entire world through capitalistic glasses, I think the real money is to be made by selling these holes to criminals and secret services. There's your market.
Picture having CIA, DHS, IRS, or ICE officers in a company meeting calling the shots.
That's an easy one. Do you have harder challenges?
People whine about the US, but it no way compares to China's abuses.
On the contrary. The comparison is not only valid, but also extremely useful. If individual freedom really were the core value of the US, the comparison would have been laughable. Alas, The core value of the US seems to be the corporate freedom to take away the freedom of individuals.
If a someone wilfully asks an advertising company to do a cross-site scripting attack on his site, he should not complain that it has consequences. Come on, what do you expect?
It smells like compost. I composted a few dead chickens on my compost heap. Off course, you have to cover the cadavers to avoid flies and other insect manifestation. Sawdust works fine, and the straw and wood chips would do the same. In fact, "balanced" compost works best, so the straw and wood chips are needed for a good composting process. Halfway the composting process the meat falls from the bones and looks cooked (white-ish for chicken) and after the full process you will only find the bones and normal compost.
Breaking in is something amateurs can do today, but doing it without leaving evidence is something else.
On the other hand, building a crappy site is something everyone can do, but only professionals are forced to build crappy sites because of costs and impossible deadlines.
It could just be that the hackers choose quantity over quality. Don't explain capitalism to Chinese. They understand it perfectly. And how to exploit it.

And planned obsolescence. Just like Android.
Resistence is futile. You will be assimilated.

So 12% of the states are investigating how well the privacy and usage of its constituents data is violated.
There, fixed that for you

On the contrary, we love them so much that we rather spend money on a doctor and an affordable stethoscope than on a stethoscope alone.

I dont't trust facebook. If facebook has friends, I probably don't trust them either.
Please think of the horses. They shouldn't get tar and feathers on their skin.

I'm afraid they would interpret snoring as a valid excuse to throw furniture at you.

I would call it hacking. They are hacking the process started by the cancer cells. Just like digital hackers, biohackers can be good guys.

Dear Bell Canada,
I do nothing. Also, I don't buy anything either. Really, I have the most boring life imaginable. So stop serving me any ads at all.
Best regards,
Your customer.
How do I uninstall this crap?
Maybe the top versions are harder to connect to China's shaming points system?

No, they left a file with Winnie The Pooh jokes. Foreign servers are the only place they can do that without facing the consequences.
