Sounds like fraud detection and reporting. Is this really a problem?
- angersock 13y agoNo, not at all, until they want to screen a suspect list for anyone with a history of limping, say, or baldness, or some other damn fool thing. Better question: is fraud detection and reporting really worth leaking your personal data to the .gov? I think not. EDIT: Downvote, downvote, but don't be surprised when this turns out to be a terrible idea.
- fein 13y ago"Do you use illegal drugs? If so which ones. When did you last use? How often do you use?" Yeah no risk at all with this...
- angersock 13y agoHadn't thought of that, but yeah, that's pretty big.
- talmand 13y agoIllegal drugs? Think a tad bit differently, think of states where marijuana is legal but is still illegal on the Federal level. If you go to surgery you really should tell them about drug usage to make sure they compensate in their drugs, but the Feds might be interested to know as well.
- fixxer 13y agoUntil it is explicitly stated, yes. I want to know how my personal data is being used, especially when the data is gathered through a program that I do not support.
- vaadu 13y agoAbsolutely there's a problem. The current wording puts no limits on how the data may be used. If the purpose is solely for fraud detection then it needs to say that and there needs to be serious penalties for violating it.
