And yet people still post their life stories (with film) on the internet. Nobody cares. I have railed against this cloud data trend since the late 90’s. Once your medical data (and data financial, family, debt, voting record, donations, email, phone) is computerized anyone can get it at anytime. Data security is a joke and those that attempts to tell you they can protect it are lying to your face. The only protection is a disconnected computer and even then thumb-drives can be used (see Snowden).

I think the Snowden issue as of late has proved this true, and I can personally confirm, having working in IT for a major healthcare network, that the people overlooking your personal data are generally incompetent or simply "beginners" and are taught how to use security applications and appliances that do their jobs for them.

The problem is that most of those appliances are built in China and have been shown to be susceptible to attacks.

At least when people are posting their own files, they do so voluntarily. I have no problems with that. What is happening with obamacare is against our will.
