Only when the US government is reformed. Presently, we don't have any laws governing what can be done with people's data like the EU does (GDPR). Collecting huge amounts of personal data for any purpose is allowed, whether that purpose is controlling people's choices at the store or maximizing profit of insurance companies by minimizing risk. Sale of personal data is allowed, including selling data you collect on your customers' spending habits. Most companies in the US treat it as an extra revenue stream, and everywhere in the US where you can use a "loyalty card" is really just you opting in to them collecting more data on you and selling it. Until things like aggregating personal data for corporate purposes are illegal here, this will continue, and corporations and government entities will continue to influence, control, and make judgements on individuals based on technology they don't themselves understand. And it will all happen in silence and darkness, because there are no laws prohibiting doctors from choosing how they treat people based on services like NarxCare. For profit health care is an abomination.
