Louis Rossmann Unleashes on Automakers: Data Breaches & Anti-Repair Lobbying Exposed!
Louis Rossmann is sounding the alarm on automakers. He's exposing their data breaches and their fight against your right to repair, revealing how your car is a goldmine of personal data.
NEW YORK, NY – In a scathing new exposé that has sent shockwaves through the automotive and tech communities, Louis Rossmann, the outspoken repair advocate and YouTuber, has unleashed a furious critique of automakers. He accuses them of a breathtaking hypocrisy: suffering massive data breaches while simultaneously lobbying against “right to repair” legislation, all while treating your car as a “rolling network” of sensitive personal data.
“Hey everybody, how’s it going? Hope you’re having a lovely day. Welcome to today’s episode of How You Get [expletive],” Rossmann began, setting a confrontational tone. He immediately posed a critical question: “Who you should actually fear when it comes to your personal data being breached when it comes to your car? Is it the independent mechanic down the block that you want to have fix your brakes? Or is it the dealer and the automaker? In my opinion, it is the automaker.”
Rossmann’s argument is simple yet powerful: automakers are proving themselves untrustworthy custodians of your data. He cited a recent data breach affecting customers of Renault and Dacia in the United Kingdom, where sensitive information shared with the carmaker was compromised. This incident, he argues, is not isolated. He pointed to General Motors, which he claims is “selling your data to data brokers that then sell it to insurance companies and use it as justification to raise your rates.”
This alarming trend, Rossmann contends, is happening while automakers are aggressively lobbying against “right to repair” legislation. He showcased images of trucks plastered with fear-mongering ads in Washington D.C., warning consumers that “Your car isn’t just a vehicle. It’s a rolling network. Don’t hand your Kia car keys to China. Stop the risky repair act. More options, less safety.” Rossmann sees this as a cynical attempt to monopolize repairs and control access to vehicle data, all under the guise of safety.
“What I would ask is what ma…,” Rossmann trailed off, implying the automakers’ true motivations are profit and control, not consumer safety. He passionately advocates for the right to repair, arguing that consumers should have the freedom to choose who fixes their vehicles and access the data their cars generate. He believes that independent mechanics are often more trustworthy and affordable than dealerships, and that restricting access to repair information only harms consumers.
Rossmann’s call to action is clear: consumers need to take direct action to support “right to repair.” He urged his viewers to convert their agreement with his views into tangible steps that will “actually lead to a different world.” He also briefly mentioned an unrelated event he’s organizing to help people switch from Windows 10 to Linux, further emphasizing his commitment to digital freedom and consumer empowerment.
Louis Rossmann’s exposé is a stark warning about the increasing convergence of technology, data, and corporate power. It’s a call for consumers to be vigilant, informed, and to fight for their digital rights in an era where our cars are becoming extensions of our digital lives. The battle for the “right to repair” is not just about fixing your car; it’s about owning your data and controlling your digital destiny.
