"What happens when we put love and intimacy at the center of our understanding of privacy, and what are the consequences of their disavowal, in favor of a more familiar technocratic definition of privacy-as-absense? What role does our deep desire for love and belonging, and our concomitant fear of shame and rejection, have to do with the (mis)direction of tech capital and the current, warped shape of the tech industry and its products?"

Microsoft Copilot Manager roasted, doesn't understand Confidentiality

*Microsoft has turned Copilot Generative AI features on for everyone in the product formally known as Office. Does Microsoft 365 with Copilot violate lawyers' duty to protect client confidential information? Ben Schorr from Microsoft responds - poorly.*

So... apart from the fact that I don't think they should have dropped charges against this doctor, is HHS going to investigate why the hospital gave access to patient data to a former employee/resident who no longer worked there and was never these patients' doctor?

@jasonkoebler In #Colorado, you can change your voter registration to "#confidential" by going to your county clerk's office and paying $5. The thing to ask for is to change to a "confidential voter registration" sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections

Confidential registrants do not appear on public voter rolls and are not included in statistics. Campaigns will not be able to buy lists with your address on it, or access your voter history. You will stop getting any campaign postal mail, canvassers will not have your address on their lists, and you get far fewer text messages.

And I learned during this election that certified poll watchers are not permitted to see Confidential registrant information by looking over your shoulder while you work as a ballot judge. They ARE allowed to watch you work on everyone else's registration. (Not that it happened at my polling location)

There are a few consequences of this. It makes participating in a caucus more complicated, and it means you cannot use BallotTrax, the state service for checking whether your ballot has been received and recorded. However you can always do that by contacting the clerk's office in person, or over the phone.

I registered Confidential in 2017 and never regretted it.

#Pharmacists in #GP #practices can make changes against your #doctors advice. If you write to the GP to tell them what happened it is the pharmacist who'll receive it. They'll edit it for the #electronic #system as well. There's no such things as #privacy, #confidentiality or the #doctor knowing best anymore. #Patient centred care is now called #NHS Person-centred #care. I bet that change #cost a #fortune. Either name, it doesn't matter because it isn't happening. #UK #health
