Most popular smart watches and fitness trackers aren't end-to-end encrypted, nor say how often governments demand access to users' data.
My argument: If wearable makers don't want to disclose that they're turning over users' data to the feds, then the obvious fix is to end-to-end encrypt it.
@zackwhittaker its confusing that the Apple product is shown but the article says that’s the only one that IS encrypted. Surprise!
@nuthatch aha! thank you for reading! 🙏
@zackwhittaker End-to-end encryption should be the default.
@zackwhittaker the obvious fix is to abandon these devices
@zackwhittaker Good additional info

No endorsement for Apple just a info, other ethical alternative should per default add E2E/E2EE #imho
They are not accurate, so does it matter?
An even better solution is for devices to not rely on vendor servers.
