But a lot of companies that aren't e-mail providers (for example, health care providers) are currently exposed to a lot of liability if they share your information without your consent.
- tptacek 15y agoThis is a really good point. I see the conflict between HIPAA and CISPA as an artifact of it being a bad, poorly- thought- out bill, though, not a conspiracy to gain access to (e.g.) medical data. It's also worth noting that HIPAA is a notoriously toothless regulation; if you talk to practice managers that focus on health care, you'll hear stories about companies simply setting aside funds to pay the (comparatively minor) fines they're unlikely to be assessed.
