Fitness Site Accidentally Shows Sexual Activity
smitty777 writes "FitBit is a wearable device created to track calorie usage based on activities. Unfortunately for some users, one of those is sexual activities. The information gained from the device is uploaded to the users online web account, which is searchable by Google. From the article: 'Yikes. Users of fitness and calorie tracker Fitbit may need to be more careful when creating a profile on the site. The sexual activity of many of the users of the company’s tracker and online platform can be found in Google Search results, meaning that these users’ profiles are public and searchable.'" It's just a matter of time before a line gets crossed and a relationship gets ruined by trying to post the largest Fitbit numbers for the evening.
Exactly. The idea behind having sex with other people is bad is put there by the religions disapproval of premarital sex. If you think about it, it really is no different from other activity. Now, religions did have a good reason to put that into peoples mind. After all, religion was pre-modern way to control people so that they didn't behave in destructing way. There are all the pregnancy and possible disease issues that needed to be controlled before. But in modern times they can be handled in other ways. But the religions already had put the mindset that sex == bad in to peoples mind. It's lifting off little by little, like people don't feel bad about premarital sex anymore. However, there still are those trust and faithful things people go about without proper reason. Just saying "faithful" is not a reasoning. Why is having sex with other people different from other activies, like for example mount climbing?
