Now that I'm pretty much off of Facebook due to gross negligence on providing any real privacy policy, or even thinking they really have any legitimate privacy policy at all, I still go on there from time to time to see what the clueless attention whores are freely feeding corporate and government data mines.
I'm still bewildered at what people post. The ones of late feature pictures of their kids in hospital beds. Why would a parent post something so private and personal? Tonight there was a Facebook post of a kid who was banged up from jet skiing lying half conscious in a hospital bed. Mom decides to take a picture and post it on Facebook.
We all fought so hard for HIPAA about 10 years ago (Health Insurance Privacy Accountability Act) which abolished the marketing and sales of our personal health information for profit purposes. It was basically the anti-blabbermouth-mind-your-own-business legislation protecting our health information and personal dignity.
Now all it takes is mom with an iPhone and a Facebook/Instagram account to blast information to all. Do you even have your kid's permission to post this stuff? Oh, due to the concussion and mummy-medical wrapping he is unable to speak for himself.
Talk about a privacy violation.......
