LOL who said anything about ethics? This is an unbelievably stupid strawman.

indeed, you said this:

The fact that it was legally mandated is good evidence that it is.

but their point was laws are not always made with good intentions and safety in mind. that's not to say TPMS is required for secret surveillance, but that there being a law for it does not immediately mean there's good purpose for that law.

Do you believe law and ethics are separable? Does your "these systems save lives" not speak to the very reasoning employed to codify an ethical position into the law of the land?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 point 1 day ago
