1) He didn”t say that the bike pollutes. It collects data on pollution in its vicinity.
2) Data is sent anonymously. You aren”t being tracked. You aren”t that important. The government and the corporations don”t care that much.

I have no interest in maps, unfortunately for me. I can”t fault Fora for that; I”m just disappointed because as a digital artist, I was hoping to hear something relevant to what I do.
