Samsung has started showing Samsung Health users a controversial notice requiring them to consent to their data being used for AI training if they want to keep their data from being deleted.
Why would you voluntarily give a company access to you health data, and not expect it to be abused ten times to sunday? They haven’t even secured it properly, so perhaps your health records are being traded on a data black market.
I had a Samsung smart watch, and it was honestly hard to use without an account. Half the features are locked behind signing in. I stopped using it when weather updates stopped working without logging in.
Now I have a dumb mechanical watch, and it’s glorious.
Love my dumb watch. Had to get a new smartwatch every 3 years or so due to planned obselesence. Spent the same amount on a pretty citizen and have had it for over 5 years. Hasnt even noticably lost time
How would Samsung get my health data in the first place?

Same, but I’ve sidegraded to Pebble, which stores the data on my phone.
