Ford Pass App (Pros & Cons)

[olie64]

So how does anyone who has Ford Pass, and therefore Ford Connect feel about FMCO following you around recording your movements, where you go, how fast and who only knows what else information they are gathering about you?

I would rather it be FMCO then some of the other companies.

Come on now, no need to be paranoid anymore since the conspiracy theorists say we have tracking chips in us now…

Most of us do...in our pockets.

So why can't we just get those chips activated instead of connecting to Ford Connect. It isn't paranoia, I just don't like becoming a "product." Who can explain to me why we have to join and have our modem activated in order to collect reward points?

Will the Mav purchase give us Ford Pass points? I'm new to Ford as well, are "free" items ever attainable or is a oil change like 50,000 points?

When I had my Fusion serviced the oil change used 10,514 points. We got 42,000 points when we purchased it and the same number of points when my wife purchased an Escape.

You are, at this moment, living in the Data Age. You can no more avoid data collection and becoming a product than our ancestor could avoid bronze and iron tools.

You've really only got two options - Learn how this new world works and moderate your exposure as best you can, or join Project Mayhem and start burning shit down.

We can choose not to participate in surveillance capitalism.

I think they will finally know what Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and everyone else already know about us
