In a letter sent to the CEOs of the top automakers, the trio of legislators — Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and Josh Hawley (R-MO) — urge them to better protect customer privacy, while also dropping their opposition to state and national right-to-repair efforts.
I would have never guessed a Republican, let alone Hawley, of being party to this.
I think they think right to repair is under the same umbrella as property rights. It’s certainly how I view it. As far as selling data, I’d bet a contract without expressly authorizing selling of data, not just a paragraph in a EULA is his angle or more likely his rates went up directly caused by his data being sold to his insurer.
