HIPAA is rather stringent, but we don't have anything like that for most other domains where a company might legitimately need confidential information. Instead we have the third party doctrine.
- bee_rider 3y agoYeah the medical field was probably a bad example, because of course HIPAA already exists. But lots of services exist that collect data that somebody might consider private as a necessary side effect of doing their thing.
- thfuran 3y agoBut there's no particular reason or privacy regulation needs to be as narrow in scope as HIPAA.
