Hopefully the law will intervene here. We should have a right to not have our medical data ingested by Google, and Google's already gotten in trouble for this in the UK.
We really need the government to outright forbid Google from healthcare at this point.
- Spivak 4y agoGoogle is not magically unbound by HIPAA so Google can't actually do much of anything with the data outside of host it. They could do some machine learning but you can't mix data so it would have to be client specific which I see no issue with.
- Teever 4y agoYou say that like it means something. If something merely being against the law was enough to stop people from doing something we wouldn't need cops and lawyers would we? It's not enough for something to be against the law, that law has to be enforced/enforceable. What's stopping Google from lobbying to change the law?
- Spivak 4y agoWell if you think Google has that kind of power then a law that prevents Google from hosting healthcare data at all isn't gonna work either.

- yetanother12345 4y agoIn the EU, Google as well as any other American owned firm are already forbidden from handling personally sensitive information. IANAL but I can not see this as legal in EU in any way. Even before the Gogle involvement, the mere fact that Epic handles such sensitive data across many European countries is bizarre. It will be interesting how this pans out and when/if EU whatchdogs will discover it / intervene.
