Well, if I don't buy a Fitbit who has the problem ? Me that buy another brand device or Fitbit that don't sell one device (and as consequence also loose the option to gather some data) ?
True. The point of the GDPR is allowing people to be able to decide who and when share their data without fearing something like "If I sell you something you are forced to give me your data".
Look, there are only two options: 1) you sell me something knowning I can deny your data collection and 2) you don't sell me anything from the start.
In the first case, you have a sell and maybe have my data, in the second you have nothing and I have sothing from someone else.
But let's end here. I understand that we are not thinking the same. Nice discussion anyway.
