In an op-ed for The Atlantic, Social Science Research Council Just Tech Fellow Chris Gilliard calls wearable technologies users pay for to track, monitor and quantify certain features “luxury surveillance.” He writes, “Consumers may believe that they have nothing to fear (or hide) from these luxury-surveillance devices, or that adopting this technology could only benefit them. But these very devices are now leveraged against people by their employers, the government, their neighbors, stalkers, and domestic abusers. To buy into these ecosystems is to tacitly support their associated harms.”
