As Best Buy has said, health monitoring services for seniors and other digital health initiatives mark a key part of its growth strategy. How significant is that? The company has shifted its focus to tech- enabled senior care…. We believe Best Buy has a durable competitive advantage in senior care, its niche in the healthcare services market. Just how serious is Best Buy in healthcare?
GreatCall had more than , paying subscribers when Best Buy bought it.

Other documents show that over the years of working with Geek Squad employees, FBI agents developed a process for investigating and prosecuting people who sent their devices to the Geek Squad for repairs. The FBI agent would show up, review the images or video and determine whether they believe they are illegal content. After that, they would seize the hard drive or computer and send it to another FBI field office near where the owner of the device lived.
Agents at that local FBI office would then investigate further, and in some cases try to obtain a warrant to search the device. In other cases, the FBI identifies the initial calls as coming from Best Buy employees, raising questions as to whether certain employees had different relationships with the FBI. These raise additional questions about the level of cooperation between the company and law enforcement. For example, documents reflect that Geek Squad employees only alert the FBI when they happen to find illegal materials during a manual search of images on a device and that the FBI does not direct those employees to actively find illegal content.
But some evidence in the case appears to show Geek Squad employees did make an affirmative effort to identify illegal material. Other evidence showed that Geek Squad employees were financially rewarded for finding child pornography.
Such a bounty would likely encourage Geek Squad employees to actively sweep for suspicious content. Worse, the FBI has refused to confirm or deny to EFF whether it has similar relationships with other computer repair facilities or businesses, despite our FOIA specifically requesting those records. The FBI has also failed to produce documents that would show whether the agency has any internal procedures or training materials that govern when agents seek to cultivate informants at computer repair facilities.
In the meantime, you can read the documents produced so far here and here. The Freedom of Information Act requires U. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE to disclose deidentified data that would enable greater public oversight of the agency while protecting the privacy of immigrants and others, EFF argued in an amicus brief filed last month in federal court.
