I was so sorry to see FITBITs affiliation with GOOGLE. With the recent Big Tech issues in the media I am in the process of closing my GMAIL. I have already closed FACEBOOK TWITTER AMAZON and INSTAGRAM. This was the last social platform I was on. I in no way agree with our freedoms being stripped from us. So, I am signing off FITBIT for the last time😥

I am not real thrilled about this either. It would be nice if there was a way to opt out.

I'm actually really excited about this integration. Finally the app can be fixed and made better, the website could do with speeding up and the reliability of the watches should also increase.

I believe that Google will do the right thing and not Jeopardize the Fitbit users or community.

I believe the only way to keep Google from knowing about you is to not have an Android or IOS phone and to never open a web browser. It is almost impossible to find a page that doesn't have a Google ad.
