FitBit's acquisition

mercredi 6 novembre 2019 à 01:00

Privacy advocates sound alarm on Google's acquisition of FitBit.

They are missing the point main, I am sad to say. The basic injustice of the FitBit is that it collects personal data. We need to put an end to that practice of collecting data.

Concentration of business is also a big problem, and we need to put that into reverse. It is better if FitBit is not acquired by any other company. But stopping the takeover by Google won't fix the FitBit's surveillance problem.
