They’ll have a lot of fun correlating your media consumption and your vitals to know exactly what you like and dislike, especially about politics. Then they know who to target for layoffs, arrest and/or deportation.

I assume they can already get your location from your phone.

False. All data has value. Vitals can 100% be used to sell targeted ads for pharmacuticals, supplements, lifestyle brands, gyms, and more.

Not to mention your general health status to insurance companies. Bad health score? Worse insurance deal

What types of data does the US sell to advertisers?
AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I don’t know if the USA currently sells data. It appears to be illegal but the current administration doesn’t always play be the rules.
Have you ever used a phrase activated voice assistant (hey Google, Alexa, Siri). They are always listening in case you use the phrase. Amazon and Google both admit they record and stores voice data. Google sells ads based on search history.

So they aren’t, and the devices work exactly as expected. I’m not shocked.

Types you haven’t even thought of. Every type of data is sold, and then Derivatives of data are sold. Directly connected data, inferred data, guesses, it’s all packaged up.
