The most personal data from more than 13 million people who have healthcare from Kaiser Permanente was given to Microsoft, Google and others. How? Looks like Kaiser's web/mobile applications went all in with the spyware Big Tech seeds into everything it can.

The people who run Kaiser should lose their jobs for this. They won't. They'll blame some underlings who won't be held accountable in any real way.

Ad-tech is cancer on privacy. And it's everywhere. Use blockers!

mickymorse,

@dangillmor Kaiser didn't hand it over. They sold it.

@dangillmor Who should it have been given to, then? 🤔

This was no "oopsie" slip.

Kaiser has had Google AdSense and other trackers on their patient site for at least 10 years that I'm aware of, likely longer. At least that's how long our home network and browser plugins have blocked it.

Online advertising is cancer.

Online advertising is fundamentally anti-ethical to the web.
