So how many shares does RFK Jr have in Fitbit?
Google bought fitbit
Eric Migicovsky kills everything he creates.
I would rather they would employ strong measures to protect any data related to such devices - with severe penalties to those that break the rules - including the revocation of corporate charters.
Indeed. I do believe that the key to better health is actionable information and a gameplan for how to maintain health. But with the Shitgibbon in office, and his merry band of miscreants running the show, I can’t determine if my smartwatch will give me good readings or not, and ensure that only I get to access that data, unless I explicitly choose to let someone else access it.
Indeed. I could see a day where people deemed “unpersons” (basically anyone not sufficiently worshiping the likes of Taco) would have their data swept up and weaponized against them by insurance companies, their place of employment, etc.
Or have their devices bricked, etc…
Even w/o the likes of conservatives and Republicans, Doctorow’s Enshittification comes for virtually everything, so…
Why? Are all Americans going to get health care to make use of that collected health tracking data?
No, but our providers will use the data to deny us care.
so microchips in vaccines are bad, but macrochips are good?
I still had to laugh at watching Bill Gates trying to process the wildly stupid notion of microchips in vaccines…watching him talk through it made it seem even wayyyy stupider that before, and it was already a very, very stupid thing.
Seeing his daughter react to some of that, as well…she’s a bit more socially aware, and much more cognizant of just how fucking stupid the typical human being can be when it comes to conspiracy theories…so she’s trying to rein him in from saying something the slack-jawed yokels are going to point at and go, “See! I told y’uns! It’s awl troooo!”
This data will go to Palentir. Hell no
RFK Jr wants to make some money by selling health data to health insurance crooks
I think out of all the freaks given positions in the regime, this asshole will do the most harm, kill the most people and cause the most suffering over the longest time span – and that’s saying a lot.
Don’t make our environment healthier but do keep tabs on how unhealthy you are made.
I’m sure he means evil, but wearables really can be a boon to health. His agency really needs to be more proactive with establishing privacy protections and certifying accuracy’s/correctness, to make this really take off.
I 100% agree. If a government with good intentions helps to get more of this in the hands of people and ensures that their data STAYS their data, it could be a good thing.
I don’t trust any of the monsters in this administration, though.
A Trump supporter coworker won’t scan a QR code because he thinks it will hack his brain, but he is over the moon excited to get one of these health tracking devices.
How bout no
Fuck you in the neck, RFK.
I took off my FitBit and have never put it back on. I don’t know who might be getting that information.
Mark of the beast.
Nope.
