This bit of news is curious as well.

"Facebook was in talks with top hospitals and other medical groups as recently as last month about a proposal to share data about the social networks of their most vulnerable patients.

The idea was to build profiles of people that included their medical conditions, information that health systems have, as well as social and economic factors gleaned from Facebook."

That is creepy. Facebook and the government need to stay far away from my healthcare.

I hope all read this article and send it to our congress reps.

I read the article last night and was just stunned by FB’s attempt to get into our medical files. So much for HIPPA! Guess FB was offering enough money to entice hospitals to do this.

This really needs to be investigated.
