@akohli @Estimote I don't get it. Supports bidirectional data transfer without your knowledge. "Take my phone" stupidpic.twitter.com/KTmVHAaCo6
@darachennis how so? It’s broadcasting a beacon id?
@akohli Oh, so you trust BLE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4POOiVrdnX8 …
@darachennis @akohli Most beacons don’t (or can’t) collect anything. They’re just sitting there sending out their beacon ID.
@darachennis @akohli So it would be _impossible_ for the beacons to collect info. The app, however, could see a beacon and report in.
@darachennis @akohli But of course that is dependent on whether you’ve installed an app, and whether you trust the app vendor :-)
