What are "normal" people to you? Because usually that excludes the disabled and those with poor health, and those are the most vulnerable to health data privacy violations. You don't have to care about other people's privacy at all if you're so exasperated, but when your health fails you, and it will, you will also find yourself suddenly not so concerned with where your data is going as long as you can get the medical care you need.

    Hey ding-dong, the interaxon muse is NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. You're acting like this is only product in its niche. Guess what? There are a million different snake-oil obvious scams for people to choose from in the medicinal pseudoscience field that don't connect to the internet.

    You should do even a single minute of research before scolding someone on something you clearly know very little about. This is not medical care. If it was medical care, it would be covered under HIPPA or whatever country's medical confidentiality laws.
