Google tries to allay Fitbit-deal privacy fears

Google has completed its acquisition of Fitbit and tried to reassure users it will protect their privacy.
The search giant bought the health-tracking company for $2.1bn (£1.5bn) in November 2019 but faced questions from regulators. Following a four-month European Commission investigation, it agreed not to use health and location data from Fitbit devices for advertising. The deal was then approved by authorities in December. In a blog, Google said the acquisition "has always been about devices, not data". "We've been clear since the beginning that we will protect Fitbit users' privacy," it added, promising the commitments given to the commission, which it must keep for 10 years, would be implemented globally.

Bahahaha. Google + protect privacy = Annihilation. This is like matter and antimatter in the same space.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Is this the age of "everyone gets a trophy" I want praise for sitting here watching with my !

Glad you got it working

Yes, I'm big on participation ribbons. Lol

Wanted to close the loop here. I've recreated the server and refetched all my certs. It's been working well for the last 2 days. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

@NashBrydges Tenet was very confusing it reminded me of Interstellar. I have to keep watching it to get it

Great, i'm looking forward to watching that, I love mind benders ...

Yeah, after I watched the first time, I knew I'd have to watch it again to get the full effect. I may be slower than others but took me a while to fully grasp what was happening.

Bottom line, if Google Project Zero discovers a vulnerability, and chooses to hide it from me, and I get compromised because they were complacent (or whose), I think that there is criminal culpability. If they research the software that I am running, that's fine. If they find a vulnerability, though, telling me makes them innocent, not telling me makes them guilty. If you are going to do security research you have ethical responsibilities and, hopefully, criminal ones as well.

What's the legal statute that you are referencing when making this statement about criminal culpability?

Truly asking.

@scottalanmiller It's too large to upload the output here so uploaded a text file to Box and sharing link here. This is a simple txt file.

@scottalanmiller Yeah, those log messages are in the syslog file in Ubuntu. The only log entries in syslog are related to when I rebooted the server. GREP output is too large for those related nginx entries in the log for me to post here but just reviewed every line and no errors that I could find.

@scottalanmiller said in NGINX Just Stop Working:

grep nginx /var/log/messages

/var/log/messages

Does not exist.

@scottalanmiller Well at this point I'm looking at any log that has "error" in the name. Lol

Tenet, after I finish History Of Swear Words.
