Ford Pass invasive requirements

[Friday yet?]

For real, Duke.
Maybe a class-action lawsuit is needed to straighten this out?

Figured that firedrill was going to start filtering over to other conversations.

I do believe we potentially have a thread to replace the infamous "Too high ass end" that would not die and had to be killed. With that in mind, maybe this pending class action will be fun!

I can smell the hydrocarbons from here.

Jesus, add a damper and you're truck is scrrwed

Just thinking if the damper itself ends up getting fuel dilution.... close the tailgate too hard and BOOM!

I have all privacy off on my phone. I like it to know where i am. What discounts there are when i enter a store what restaurant suggestions when i get somewhere new, what GEN-Y HITCH i need today, where the traffic is bad and last known location what and where i did what with my credit card.

I always feel like, somebodies watching me???

Damper deniers are popping up everywhere. When my tailgate gently floats like a down feather, all seems right in the world.

While the damper sends your personal info and location to Dave .

tailgate dampers are exactly what is wrong with this world.

don't forget they also ruin the 10R80's.

Read the fine print in the TSB, 'if vehicle is equipped with a dailgate dampening device warranty is void as this is known to cause compatibility issues with the 10R80.'

We are beginning to sound like the fake news . Back to the Ford Pass information gathering app ?.

Big data is bad.

And anything that connects to the internet, ever, will send data to them.

Best way to stop being tracked is to give away all your belongings and walk into the mohntains and live in a cave.

Exactly why I will never have one. I'm already worried with Dave (@AzScorpion) moving north and closer to me.

Because they got caught?

If you use an electronic device it shares your data. Full stop.

Your data is what makes all the internet free. This web forum is free because of your usage data and advertising and all that fun stuff. (simplistic)

Social media sites aren't free because Zuckerberg (et Al.) is a good dude.

And then 90% of the forum who reads this removes themselves ? (don’t die 5g you’re my Facebook but with better people.)?
privacy is a pretty big deal and it’s constantly a battle to keep on it… my only defense is to be mediocre ? and In debt (on paper…shhhh don’t tell anyone I’m actually poor too.) vpn helps for now… no I don’t know much about them my brother set it up.. he said it’ll minimize any real information about my location and such.. I’ll ask him if the one he has on my phone does anything about the data in question.

While I don't remember the exact wording of my initial sign on agreement, I can't imagine Ford not having that same language back in 2020 when I bought the truck.
I'm not sure how we would be able to prove language from back then unless somehow someone here is still on the old app and can screenshot the language used then?

So what happens if you deny their permission? Does the ap crash and fail to load?

He doesn’t have to be close..
You didn’t know about the secret force going around putting dampers on ranger tailgates under the cloak of night already exists… stay awake or they might get to your tailgate……..?

It locks you out. If you don't agree you can't get past that page. That's why I just deleted it.

 

[TJC]

No, when they required the permissions, I deleted the app and turned off all the auto updates and vehicle sharing. Ford wants too much freedom of info for me.

Go a step further,

• turn off telemetrics using ForScan
• Pull Fuse 8 (and be sure and put a fuse in Slot 9- they share a common middle pin)
• Unplug the Cellular Modem in the passenger footwell

I've been running that way for months now with nary a problem. I do not have Nav so I do not know if it is affected. But I do know that there are no more midnight calls to Ford servers, and your battery will love you.

Just because you opt out doesn't mean Ford isn't pulling a sneak without your knowledge.
