Headphones are collecting too much personal data (2019)
The article should have buried sony for how egregious they are. They require the app to collect location information, and ear. <a href="https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00233341" rel="nofollow">https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00233341</a> I'm not sure what else they collect.. but those are the 2 bad ones.<p>They've got a few settings that are software controlled (one being the bluetooth's internal volume) What happens if you get a software update and you open the app on a plane without wifi? You can't use it because it requires the internet to get the latest _required tos_ to use your headphones. You can't proceed further without being forced into an agreement. Clicking "don't accept" pushes you back to the tos screen.
