Google Fitbit Acquisition, Health Data, and Dame Sarah
The Australian consumer watchdog (ACCC) has issued a warning regarding Google's $3 billion acquisition of Fitbit, citing concerns over the long-term use of sensitive health data. Despite Google's assurances that the data will not be used for advertising, critics point to past instances where tech giants changed their terms of service after an acquisition. Australian media personality Dame Sarah is credited for highlighting these privacy risks.
