This is what revealed it? Not the 2018 FitBit/Military debacle[0], or even Vice's own article in 2016 about sleep data from fitness trackers[1]?

If every time a major data breach happens we pretend like it's a huge surprise that no one could have predicted, we're going to have a harder time moving forward, I think.
