Lemmylefty, in Transgender Patients Sue Hospital For Giving Records To Tennessee's Attorney General
@Lemmylefty@lemmy.world avatar

The attorney general also requested a slew of additional information, including the names of everyone referred to the transgender clinic who made at least one office visit, as well as people who volunteer for the hospital’s Trans Buddy initiative, which aims to increase access to care and improve outcomes by providing emotional support for the clinic’s patients.

Emphasis mine.

The goal seems to be to have a chilling effect not just on trans care but on advocates for trans care as well. Same logic as with the drag "ban."

Chuymatt,

And that single act has made it more likely that trans folks will avoid accessing healthcare. Not that these horrid people care about that.

They do very much care about that; that’s exactly what they want.

There should be a law verification law where if you try to pass a retarded law, they veriify you’re an idiot and then put the law into a suggestion box that routes to a small actuve fireplace.

HIPPA has an exception when there is a court order.

toiletobserver,

I didn’t see anything about a court order, just state investigations.

Pardon, it was a civil investigative demand. As long as the AG provided a written statement that the information requested is relevant and material, specific and limited in scope, and de-identified information cannot be used, then judicial involvement is not required.

sik0fewl,

I hope you're right. This seems like a pretty egregious violation.

Ethics standards should be enforced on these corrupt partisan hacks.

    The feature had major authoritarian problems.

    Nobody is arguing FOR csam, but the number of terrible things that have been done “in the name of the children” is huge and this one was a bigger problem.

    Once you cross the line into peering into my photos, the possibilities for abuse of that feature are huge. I’d bet that some governments asked them to scan for other content too and Apple didn’t like what they were being asked to do.

    In fact throughout history these types of “for the children” laws and rules have been created under false pretences so much that the Simpsons have a running gag of it.

    “Won’t someone please think of the children!!!”

  • ArbiterXero,

    Wasn’t yet on the list.

    But what are the barriers to them asking and getting on the list?

    And why would the government be on the “list of hashes”?

    The list of hashes are hashes for images, not keys to authenticate people.

    Your argument doesn’t even make sense, and then you attack my character. Observe “fallacy fallacy” as well as “ad hominem”.

    Just because you CAN apply a fallacy does not make my argument false. Slippery slopes DO exist, but not everything is a slippery slope. Attacking my character with condescension exposes a distraction from a weak central point.

    Good, thats some bullshit. Still annoys me how printers can make you buy the color ink you run out of before using the color ink you have.

    I thought that was codified back with Jackie Coogan.

    From the article:

    Many states already require parents to set aside earnings for child entertainers who perform in more traditional settings such as movies and television, but Illinois' law will be the first to specifically target social media starlets

    Basically, Parents were avoiding this by having their kids on their social media platform producing content.

    This was a good read. They tried stalling and stalling until they got fined.
