I don’t follow the wearable space, as I wouldn’t use one. I have a heart monitor chest strap I wear when I bicycle so I can see my heart rate, but I wouldn’t wear one of these devices all the time. It’s telling that they are including GPS chips in these devices instead of using the phone’s GPS. And the fact that Bobby the Op is plugging for everyone to wear one within the next four years is also interesting. Is this to get around the people that keep the GPS off on their phones along with other measures to cut down on tracking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/discernreport.com\/digital-wearables-a-key-cog-in-the-social-credit-machine\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n By Kit Knightly<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Off-Guardian<\/a>)\u2014Yesterday, RFK jr announced it was a major part of the \u201cMake America Healthy Again\u201d plan that everybody should be monitoring their health using digital wearables within the next four years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A \u201cwearable\u201d is a device like an Apple Watch or Google\u2019s FitBit, something you wear which monitors your activity levels, heart rate etc. Naturally, in order to monitor distances travelled, they all have a GPS chip in them. Some monitor your blood sugar<\/a> or other vital signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Testifying in front of Congress, Kennedy explained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s a way people can take control of their own health. They can take responsibility [\u2026] They can see, as you know, what food is doing to their glucose levels, their heart rates and a number of other metrics as they eat it, and they can begin to make good judgments about their diet, about their physical activity, about the way that they live their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n But are \u201cwearables\u201d as benign as they seem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course not. They are a biometric tracking device. Essentially, in the name of monitoring your health<\/em> you\u2019ll be monitoring your self<\/em>, and uploading all that data to the cloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where you go, how you get there, how fast you travel. What you eat and when. When you sleep and for how long. Your blood sugar and heart rate and body fat percentage. Not to mention biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All this data will be collected. And will it be private? Of course not. It will be hoarded like gold by the data-dragons and \u2013 if you\u2019re very lucky \u2013 never used for anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What could<\/em> it be used for? Well, there\u2019s plenty of possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life or medical insurance companies will want access to this data so they can \u201cadjust\u201d your premiums or deny your claims based on your \u201cunhealthy\u201d choices. That\u2019s a nailed-on certainty. It will be sold as \u201cyou\u2019ll be able to lower your payments \u2013 or claim cashback \u2013 if you make healthy choices\u201d<\/em>, or \u201cwe\u2019ll pay you to lose weight\u201d<\/em>\u2026but the inverse will be true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tracking your \u201ccarbon footprint\u201d will be possible to. Energy companies will want access to this data to \u201creward\u201d customers who walk or cycle vs driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
