@eff @jgkelley i'd love for kids to be prevented from accessing porn but indiscriminate age/ID verification ain't it.

my linkedin account was inexplicably restricted (or maybe i got my password wrong too many times) and they want me to use a third party to confirm my identity just to get my linkedin account back. yeah i don't want it back THAT bad lol

@eff @Thorin incredibly blatant privacy theft aside...wearables don't even really do anything for your health. if you want to track your heart rate for exercising or a health issue you have, cool, go for it.

but beyond that the measurements are rudimentary and sometimes inaccurate. the sleep monitoring only tracks your movement; there are other factors that play into quality sleep.

the heart attack/arrhythmia detectors tend to throw false positives until the user just ignores them or disables them lol.

i'm all for preventive healthcare but full-body mri's on healthy people and wearables on every american isn't worth the cost for anyone involved
