  • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has settled its data-sharing order against General Motors (GM), which prohibits the company from collecting and selling geolocation data to third parties, including data brokers and insurance companies. This order was initially proposed a year ago and aims to protect consumer privacy in the automotive sector.
  • This development is significant as it reinforces regulatory oversight on how automotive companies handle sensitive consumer data, potentially setting a precedent for future data privacy regulations in the industry.
