Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud

Its actually illegal under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in the UK for a product to force a change on its functionality after you bought it.
Also surprised if EU law will allow this ?
I for one will be seeking a refund for the products either directly or through a court just to show them up.

Update Note Showing Consumer Rights Act 2015 "Goods Not Fit For Purpose" alone is enough to demand your money back. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/15/section/10
and as it relies on digital content to support them and this is where the main problem is, section 40 applies where they changed it for the worse

Cutting back on social media reduces anxiety, depression, loneliness

I came away from Facebook 6 years ago when i realised it was majorly effecting my mental health with its seriously toxic and witch hunting environment. Then came away from Twitter in Jan partly because I had made cupoftea.social and wasnt spending time there anymore but also found that place had turned toxic. Ive found in the 7 months of running my own mastodon instance that less is more. Less content but more meaningful interaction with other people and I go out the house more often.
