Facebook has asked several major U.S. hospitals to share anonymized data about their patients, such as illnesses and prescription info, for a proposed research project. Facebook was intending to match it up with user data it had collected, and help the hospitals figure out which patients might need special care or treatment.
The proposal never went past the planning phases and has been put on pause after the Cambridge Analytica data leak scandal raised public concerns over how Facebook and others collect and use detailed information about Facebook users.

I think this is the beginning of the end of Zucky boy.
HIPAA..........................
An end around sounds like.
The proposal never went past the planning phases and has been put on pause after the Cambridge Analytica data leak scandal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Didn’t they mean TRUMP LINKED Cambridge Analytica?
My guess is they wanted the data as an experiment.
They want to create algorithms to see if they can predict medical conditions and risk of death (expense) from the vast database they already had. Being able to match 10,000 patients to their Facebook data would go a long way towards creating that.
“Facebook” and “research” are a toxic brew.
If they have a “VP of Research” haul them off to jail!
Zucks one of Odungos favorites....
..he really really meant no harm, no intent, he’s really really sorry..and he’ll probably give the DNC a few hundred million to make it up to them
These leftists look at every sci-fi/futuristic/dystopian book and/or movie and say “That’s a great idea!!!!!” It’s Minority’s Report, for your health.
So much for the Liberal joke that is HIPPA. Don’t you just love it when your doctor’s office wants to communicate with you via the internet. They assure you that it secure. What a joke that is.
Yes, I refuse to sign up on their “portals”
HIPAA penalties... aren’t they $100,000 per instance? Multiply this by thousands of attempts... put Zuckerberg in prison (as long as he left a paper/electronic trail per his instructions to said doctors) for max time.
I know the training I have and the penalties for breaking HIPAA rules are HUGE and we are personally at risk should we be involved in breaking them
How’s come they don’t say anything that Obama also used Cambridge Analytica?
Redundant effort on Facebook’s behalf.
Just go to thedatamap.org to see how hospitals, providers, Heathcare insurance companies share All patient health data with databrokers.
Over 8000 entities share your personal health information without any guarantee it’s anonymized.
Well, “don’t we all discuss our gun collections over the internet with our doctors today?”
Cuz dat be raciss.
I have Medicare Plan G supplement. That means I can (and will) fire any doctor who asks about guns.
Does that make them HIPAAcrits?..
You know...he could be the “fall guy” for somebody in a much higher position than he is.
It would be interesting to know where the hospitals were located. And if any were used by certain high profile politicians, judges, bureaucrats...
