     Google, known for the most ironic corporate slogan ever (\u201cDon\u2019t Be Evil\u201d), has accumulated the true wealth of the internet age: Information. Though we have repeatedly<\/a> and often<\/a> been reminded of the dangers<\/a> of a neo-fuedalistic oligarchy<\/a>, most have ignored that and soled their very being for a thirty pieces of apps and online quips. Oh, not only is the information you are voluntarily giving them allowing them to manipulate public policy, but also all the information that you never intentionally gave<\/a> them being used by them for their own machinations.<\/p>\n

     One of the promises of Obamacare and similar such legislation was a promise that medical information could be easily accessed by your doctors at all time regardless of where you are or if they were the doctors who even contributed to your medical history. Such ease of access to allegedly save you life was offered with that very same promise that is wouldn\u2019t \u201cbe evil\u201d.<\/p>\n

     Turns out, yeah, it was evil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n     Google, it has been reported<\/a>, is not only collecting all your personal medial information, but number crunching and cross-correlating<\/a> it, according to a whistleblower.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c\u2019Google is secretly transporting data to its own servers without patient knowledge or consent,\u2019 the whisteleblower claims in the video.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe video goes on to explain that the project has four stages. The first two move patient data, with patients\u2019 names, to Google\u2019s cloud.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring stage three, Google uses Ascension\u2019s data to build a framework in the cloud. Then during stage four, Google will mine Ascension\u2019s patient information to run analytics and AI algorithms, sell or share data with third parties, and create profiles of patients that can be used for ads targeted to the patients\u2019 healthcare issues. \u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was an empty promise:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAlthough there’s a popular perception that the privacy of healthcare information is rigidly protected by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), that’s not really the case, said Twila Brase, president of the Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom, an advocacy group based in St. Paul, Minnesota.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019What HIPAA really is, is a permissive data sharing rule,\u2019 she told TechNewsWorld.<\/p>\n

\u2018The public has been deceived.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cHIPAA allows healthcare information to be shared for a number of purposes, including payment, treatment, research, law enforcement, judicial proceedings, public health, and healthcare operations, which is broken into more than 65 activities, Brase pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019What Ascension is doing is using the healthcare operations section of HIPAA to contract with a ‘business associate’ called Google, which is perfectly legal,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Patients have lost all consent rights to what happens to their medical records, unless there is privacy law in their state,\u2019 Brase added.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     And yes, Google has your medical data, no different from the data that tells Google employees what your kinks and fetishes are. It says a lot when politicians from disparate wings on the political spectrum<\/a> are beyond concerned:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs to what changes are needed and who will sponsor them, both Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Sen. Josh Hawley, on opposite sides of the aisle, are watching the file. The latest word is that Google is facing (another) federal probe over this the issue. So perhaps some of the senators\u2019 constituents are watching the file bulge too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Heck, when the British newspaper \u201cThe Guardian\u201d is railing against<\/a> a Silicone Valley leftist darling, you know that the concerned is more than just warrented.<\/p>\n

     But this goes beyond just medical data. It it about the establishment of a data and information collecting organization that would even shock and disgust the Stasi!<\/p>\n

     More and more universities and colleges, who for the most part had their own dedicated internet systems, if not outright helping build the modern internet, have abandoned their own services and outsourced to Google\u2026 who now have access to all the cutting edge research and raw data before the researchers expecting results even get said results!<\/p>\n

     Imagine the financial windfall of knowing all cutting edge research, including research from collaborations with industries and even national laboratories! Not even the spymasters behind the Soviet infiltration of the U.S. atomic bomb program could dream of such unalloyed access!<\/p>\n

     Google is the very embodiment of the classical Cyberpunk corporate villain<\/a>\u2026 but this time with \u201cyellow-scaled wingless dragonkin\u201d who is also \u201can expansive ornate building\u201d.<\/p>\n

     Evil was never supposed to be this messed up in the head…<\/p>\n
