Today’s story is about Philips Hue by Signify. They will soon start forcing accounts on all users and upload user data to their cloud. For now, Signify says you’ll still be able to control your Hue lights locally as you’re currently used to, but we don’t know if this may change in the future. The privacy policy allows them to store the data and share it with partners.

Being able to downgrade apps for reasons like this are why I probably won't ever leave Android.

Forced mandatory popup after app launches

“App is out of date. Please update HUE to continue to get access to the latest features!”

It’s coming

Android is going to potentially get worse too in terms of sideloading
