The Internet’s Verdict: 60% Concerned, 40% Indifferent
Forum Reactions
Users are divided on Samsung’s new policy. Some are concerned about data privacy, while others see it as a reasonable trade-off for AI-powered features.
> The company plans to grab four categories: your sleep, your medications, your medical records, and your cycle tracking details So you buy a device but you can’t effectively use half of its features because you’d also have to agree to send them your medical records? Ok then if I refuse, will they refund 50% of the device price since now it’s not usable any more?
Others appreciate the option to opt-out, even if it means losing access to certain features.
Something I appreciate about Samsung phones is that having a Samsung account is completely optional. I’ve never had one. If I accidentally click on one of the dumb AI features I’m not even allowed to use it without an account.
Regulatory Implications
The policy may raise concerns in Europe, where data protection laws are strict.
shouldn’t this get them turbo obliterated in europe?
