Re: "No need to write an article about this."

I think it is within their remit to discuss such issues.

I enjoyed reading it, I feel it received quite a harsh critique for a short article that was well written and engaging.

If the goal was to get people thinking about the privacy implications, it worked. Here we are talking about it on HN.

With the suggested title "a car dealership installed a third-party GPS tracking device in a vehicle" I doubt I would have read it. If it hadn't been by the EFF I doubt I would have considered the privacy implications.
