That was always the revenue stream, the devices were just a way to get you to give it to them. It's been a minute since I was current on who gets what in the HMD world but I think that data ultimately flows to Placer.ai

It does. This isn't new laws, it's an application of existing law on this practice.

Security theather is easy and gets lots of eyeballs. Actual security is hard and no one cares. Which one do you think soon-to-ipo companies are going to pick?

Data is the only moat but they'll be starting in the same place the current set of players statyed out just a few years ago. I suspect that the delta between what is publicly available (if not legally publicly available! see scihub) an

This is an indirect way to get at what we really need: a wealth tax. Don't treat the symptom, treat the disease.
