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.

If it didn't work they wouldn't do it.

That's not necessarily true, people do things that don't work all the time, sometimes for a long time. There have been millions if not billions of dollars dumped into shit that doesn't work. Using charts to predict the stock market doesn't work, yet you can find people still doing it to this day.
