> I doubt there are any cases ... of data-sharing actually causing stigma or economic penalties. That's a strong claim. It took me 10 second to find these 4 stories of leaks of up to 45 million records and many written accounts of distress, lost jobs and broken relationships as consequences. https://news.trendmicro.com/2021/07/28/biggest-health-sector-data-breaches-1st-half-of-202$ https://news.trendmicro.com/2021/07/28/biggest-health-sector... https://www.cpomagazine.com/cyber-security/medical-data-leaks-have-exposed-45-million-reco$ https://www.cpomagazine.com/cyber-security/medical-data-leak... https://securereading.com/medical-data-leak-database-of-humana-customers-leaked-online/ https://securereading.com/medical-data-leak-database-of-huma... https://americanretrieval.com/medical-records-breach/ https://americanretrieval.com/medical-records-breach/ But as my sibling poster says too, your unevidenced doubts are neither here nor there, because it's the (equally unevidenced with respect to specifics) doubts of ordinary people that matter. And let's be honest, that mistrust is justified in a time where data leaks and abuse is rampant. Medical professionals and researchers may all be saints, but their halos are only as bright as the company they keep... Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon... and other big-tech cloud infrastructure on which sensitive data systems are built. Of course it's a tragedy. Somewhere in that data are cures and remedies. But we can't have nice things if some are allowed to crap in the punch-bowl and drive the guests out of the party.
