I'd rather not excercise than have my health data feed the GOOGL advertising engine, thank you. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/09/google-will-start-as... Because I do not trust them to uphold the EU rules.

You’d pass up on reduced risk of all cause mortality, reduced risk of cancer, reduced risk of fall injuries, and improved mental health [1]? Just to stick it to Google? Man, get some exercise. If you don’t like Google either don’t use a tracker, build your own, or use one that’s more trustworthy.

Thank you for your compassion, but I already have another tracker (Apple Watch) and am running twice a week.
