    Screw that. Give the government a way to track my vitals 24/7 and sell that information off to their cronies in the private sector? No thanks.

      Vitals? You mean location. They don’t give a rat’s ass about your vitals.

        They’ll have a lot of fun correlating your media consumption and your vitals to know exactly what you like and dislike, especially about politics. Then they know who to target for layoffs, arrest and/or deportation.

        False. All data has value. Vitals can 100% be used to sell targeted ads for pharmacuticals, supplements, lifestyle brands, gyms, and more. Also if it has a microphone it’s listening to everything.

          Not to mention your general health status to insurance companies. Bad health score? Worse insurance deal

          What types of data does the US sell to advertisers? Do you have ANY evidence of the always listening mic? You’d figure after 10 years of this we’d have at least some evidence, right?
