- tcd 7y agoYup, people are cheap. Just go on Amazon and look at the cheap Smartwatches. I actually tore down an APK of one "WearHealth_v1.0.55_apkpure.com_source_from_JADX" and it contained some really dodgy URLs to Chinese servers. Nothing you can do really, the platform (Android) should be responsible for protecting the individual to be honest.
- WrtCdEvrydy 7y agoNah, make it required like FCC certification, and make the uncertified mark be a poison sign.
- snaky 7y agoHow many cheap electronic devices at Amazon have a non-fake FCC certification, what do you think?
- SamuelAdams 7y agoOk, how about another example: the FDA. I'm sure there are plenty of drugs that failed the trial phase: they might fix a headache, but could introduce far more severe side-effects. Consumers have no way of knowing if an over-the-counter drug they are buying will complicate their health further: they trust the manufacturer and the FDA to do those checks for them. Why not have a similar structure for technology? What prevents risky / dangerous over-the-counter medication from being sold, and can we apply those same measures to IoT devices?
