Android auto now blocked if you use a VPN?
(lemmy.zip)
What the heck, is this a new "feature"? Does this also happen on other android flavours like AOSP or GrapheneOS?
Android Auto is only a display for your phone. How is it a privacy risk?
Would you give a stranger your phone so it can read you directions or tell you that you have a text from your mom? What if the stranger read it aloud for you? What if that stranger was hundreds of thousands of people called a company and they were selling that data to their other friends who charge you money for car insurance?
Yes, modern cars are a privacy nightmare. Yes, modern smartphones are a privacy nightmare. But what does Android Auto have to do with any of this? All it does is run a second screen for your phone.
