The US Health Secretary plans a huge campaign to encourage health wearables: CNET knows exactly the kind of devices he's talking about, and why accuracy may be a problem.
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…
