#DOJ subpoenas #Apple, #Google, #Amazon, and #Walmart to learn identities of people who **used "car tinkering" app to bypass EMISSION controls** What is EZ Lynk's "Auto Agent" app, you ask? The company says the app offers "insight to critical vehicle sensor data allowing you to monitor in real time the health and status of your vehicle." The app allows car owners access to "diagnostic trouble codes" which "allows you to easily understand what your vehicle is trying to tell you" so that you can make your own repairs. Seems simple enough (though mechanics obviously might not like it). The problem, however, is that — per Gizmodo — EZ Lynk has already been accused of helping consumers "bypass computerized emissions controls on cars," with the #government CLAIMING that the device was "INTENDED to DISABLE those emissions controls." https://notthebee.com/article/doj-subpoenas-apple-and-google-to-learn-identities-of-people-who-used-car-tinkering-app-used-to-bypass-emission-controls
