This is fucked up, Suunto. I have years of diving data in this app, which I now can’t access without giving up the privacy of my health & location data. This is coerced consent & it’s bullshit.
I will be replacing my dive computer immediately & will never recommend a Suunto product again.

If you need to be an asshole today because more than half your country doesn’t give a fuck if you bleed out in a parking lot, if you get separated from your family, or your right to exist doesn’t matter — and they’re willing to sacrifice your safety for whatever it is they want, I’m not going to tell you not to. That’s a man’s job.

Safety is now the #1 concern for a lot of people in the US. Our fellow Americans have condemned us.

A new favorite IR comms because:
- even though there was no network intrusion or funds lost, EF still notified users & the public
- it includes helpful information from an investigation
- there’s an actual apology
