Then Facebook would become a Business Associate and would have to protect information in a variety of very strict ways and could face a fine of up to $10,000 per patient record, per violation. If they had 25 million health records and decided to target advertising to those people on two separate occasions, then they are liable for a fine of up to $500 billion. So sure, let Facebook get into health, it wouldn’t take long for them to run afoul of the law given their move-fast-break-things attitude.
- clinta 7y agoIs targeting advertising based on health data a violation if the advertiser is a business associate and is not directly exposing the data to any non-covered entities?
