Fanatics in Mississippi

mercredi 25 novembre 2015 à 01:00

Christian fanatics in Mississippi fired a teacher for allowing a student to demonstrate, with a cucumber, the correct way to put on a condom.

The Christian fanatics want to keep teenagers ignorant of this so that they will get pregnant, and then the fanatics can claim that proves they should not have had sex.

Medical records privacy law

mercredi 25 novembre 2015 à 01:00

The US medical records privacy law doesn't apply to many kinds of medical data including the data collected by excercise trackers.

This is a problem because of exercise trackers that contain proprietary software and are designed to send the user's personal data to a company site. Such products are essentially unethical, and people should not be surprised when the proprietary software turns out to be malware.

The US medical records privacy law (HIPAA) is totally inadequate when it comes to government access to your records.
