@chrismessina what’s a little data sharing between friends? 🥴
@chrismessina absolutely disgusting. too bad people will flock to it anyway.
@chrismessina it might even collect your shoe size and the number of times you blink per minute
@chrismessina it is bonkers that an app that consumes so much data is allowed to exist
@chrismessina
They want my data they can pay me dammit
@chrismessina Why in the world do they need health and fitness access⁉️
@bgannin @chrismessina Their mantra is: “collect it now, we’ll figure out what to do with it later”.
@chrismessina can’t wait for them to inevitably start asking for a saliva sample and to download in a few years
