various plot points in #MidsomerMurders were written based on exactly this: cops having access to the victims health-tracker data. tbh that show is an #infosec #surveillance #stalkerware nightmare.

Fantastic work by @Thorin@mastodon.social at EFF looking at the state of fitness tracker privacy.
Most wearable makers don't end-to-end encrypt your data, so police/feds (and hackers!) can get your health data — and almost none publish a transparency report, so we may never know if they do.
