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.
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
Exactly!
