My grocery store wants to know my BMI
(lemmy.world)
If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?
Inb4 “They already do that based on what you regularly purchase”
Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?
People who make this argument piss me off so much. Yeah, my privacy is already almost entirely eroded away. Why on Earth would I decide to let the rest of it go? Sure, Google knows where I live. I guess that's good enough reason to tell you motherfuckers that my address is 7473 W 47th St S, Wichita, KS, 67215. I mean if the data is already out there, what point is there in trying to obfuscate it?
Thanks for sharing. Looks like you live in a pretty dry place with few neighbours?
