Respectfully, and with reasonable belief neither of us has a uterus? – that is for women to decide.

Yes, there are shitty #iOS period tracking apps and all of #Android is a #privacy cess pool.

I’ve been following period tracking apps since they were introduced. Only time I heard a cheer in the room was at the #Apple #WWDC when they introduced theirs - #privacy centric and protective from the get go.

Roger that :) 🙏

Words:
• #Health
• #Fitness
• #Wellness
mean different things to different people, especially corp lawyers and gov’t regulators (all nations).

Obfuscation remains core to all #BigTech business models. Millions who wore #Fitbits were unwitting chickens-to-be-plucked of intimate bio #data cuz they ignored ToS/EULA and clicked “OK”.

What I know for sure (before awareness of #BioSurveillance): peeps *loved* their Fitbits!

Tons of untapped potential remains in WATCH.

@elisse

• #PersonalData is recognized asset class (Google didn’t pay $6B for cool #Fitbit hardware - they bought years of harvested human health data)

ToS/EULA

• #Fitbit: harvested health data from Fitbit becomes #Google / #Alphabet corp asset

• #Apple: harvested health data from WATCH remains property of human wearing it

Like it not: #Privacy = #Apple & #AppleWatch competitive differentiator. #Android + all its derivative #wearable devices = #PersonalData vacuums hoovering up every #Health data bit they touch (enabled by EULAs & ToS's no one ever reads but clicks “OK" to).

Unless #wearable manufactures can harvest and broker users personal data? profit margins aren’t enough to sustain a hardware business.
