A 'kill switch' would allow "authorized (or unauthorized) third parties" to "remotely access the system's data at any time."

He sounded the alarm over Biden's hidden "kill switch" rule in a Daily Caller opinion piece published in November.

Barr wrote that "kill switches" are a "privacy disaster in the making," and the law is "disturbingly short on details."

"Everything about this mandatory measure should set off red flares."

Such "backdoor" kill switches work through cars being connected to wireless networks at all times, including 5G. Many new cars and virtually all-electric cars already come with wireless capability as standard. Indeed, US automotive giant General Motors was an early pioneer of in-car connectivity to the internet well over a decade ago.

Barr wrote that passively monitoring one's vehicle "suggests the system will always be on and constantly monitoring the vehicle"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
