What they’re not saying is that we have a ‘Chinese credit score’ system in play inside the US.
And you can thank both George W. Bush and Barrack 0bama for it.
The data that the government cannot legally take from you is given to them through
their mules. The corporations.
In what experts say could be a violation of federal law, some hospitals have been sharing users’ personal medical information with Meta, a new report from The Markup found.
Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), hospitals are required to safeguard sensitive medical data and not share it with external organizations. But 33 of the top 100 hospitals in the US, including Johns Hopkins Hospital and New York-Presbyterian, had a tracker called Meta Pixel on their site, per the June 16 report from The Markup.
Meta Pixel is a code that logs visitors’ activity and sends the data to Meta. Meta analyzes the data and lets website owners know how powerful their ads are on Facebook and Instagram. But Meta Pixel also captured data including reasons for medical appointments and names of patients’ doctors when people tried to schedule appointments on these hospitals’ sites, The Markup found. The outlet found “pregnancy termination” and “Alzheimer’s” listed as reasons for consultation among the Meta Pixel data.
The outlet found that seven health systems shared details about patients’ allergies, medications, upcoming appointments, and their sexual orientation with Meta via Meta Pixel. more
That’s how W and Barky could afford sprawling ranches in Crawford and mansions on Martha’s Vinyard.
Meta, where have I heard that word before…
The NSA had a program that ended the day FB started. A program to collect all your data but they had too many people clamoring about pesky privacy so they introduced it with good old dorky Zuck, a nice story and an enticement to connect to your friends and family.
These articles never give the entire lists of organizations involved in this kind of thing.
Where’s the list?
Am I missing something?
There’s going to come a day, real soon, when we’ll need to figure out a different way to organize and communicate than what we are doing now. Carrier Pigeons would be safer.

An absurd Conspiracy Theory(TM).
Unless you believe (you know you want to), that government created offices… that exist at the government’s whim… according to government rules… are not government entities.
