True, you’d also need provisions to have a purge data available. Most do for resale purposes, but how thorough? And what if it’s unpowered when it hits the service depot?
WiFi could be banned (uncommon presently), bit harder to verify. There’s also Bluetooth to an app on your phone which is even harder. I’d just set it to network deny, but most don’t have that option, or not install. Bloody vampires can make it hard…
There’s always pull the antenna or the fuse to the modem yourself, which should just work except for physical access at service.
Perhaps legislation just needs to be straight up do not log data. Bloody insurance lobby would scream blue murder, but it’d be a vote winner.
100% we need legislature to prevent surveillance and data collection of all kinds.
For that we would need politicians that represent the voting populace rather than their corporate donors.
Too right.
