Dutch IT contractor lays out the case for spying on everyone's wearables, always

The police duty to protect is generally, in the US at least, a duty to protect the state or municipality itself. Not to protect the citizens, but to maintain public order.

Of course, their public relation speeches never mention this. If they suggest that something is for your personal safety, it might be because of the implied violence which could be used against you if you do not act accordingly.

Are they trying to kill the wearables market?

Nailed it! They’re a front for Big Clockwork desperately trying to keep their grip on the wristwatch market. :smiley:

Hello,

It is not only Europe.

The Dubuque Community School District in Iowa is now requiring students in PE to wear heart-rate monitors, according to this article in the Huffington Post.

I LOVE THIS IDEA. Why? Not for the reasons laid out by its original proponents, but because in reality the data will be spied upon whether its overt or not. So instilling a mindset that “If you monitor it, it’s public” will result in correct behaviour by users and avoid all sorts of Snowden-like scandals.
