Is this really the main takeaway from such a huge event? How about the fact that millions of users' data is just acquired by the company that already knows literally more about users than themselves?
I've made terms with fact that once my data is out there, I no longer have control over it. We need a major law change like GDPR that should allow users to control who has access to data and how it will be used. Until that happens. I'm surprised at the reactions from hn community on this. Do we really think Fitbit or any other company where we share data can never be acquired by some evil corp.
