it feels invasive in principle. If they had said it was a managed device, I never would have accepted it.

data brokers do not know which devices are nearby me. i use linux. no one collects anything where i am. and now databrokers are able to know which specific devices are around me, meaning that if I buy a smart device in cash and set it up, data brokers will be able to infer it’s me based on the proximity of nearby devices collected by this health tablet. that actually is invasive, data brokers and smart devices are that good at inferences, and i feel like I was duped into this.
