It's the user data selling I would be concerned about. They are obviously getting another revenue stream from people that can afford 30k cameras. Which is a godamn goldmine for data sets.

I would like to know as an employer. How to talk to employees respectively about open source? This is a problem from the ground up, nor a top down problem.

And now I'm signed up to the system. It's terrifying. At any point. You're done. Hence the nothing clause. I'm sure any game I submit to the play will be wrapped in googs analytics. No matter what my privacy police says.

Reminds me of the German that invented pulling nitrogen out of the air to be used in fertilizers, saving hundreds of millions of lives. WW1 rolls around and he invents gas warfare.
