I’m starting to suspect that these corporations are selling our data on whatever platforms you see on the onion browser then when people find out their privacy has been violated these corporations throw up their hands and say “I don’t know it must’ve been hacked. Oh well, will give you some credit monitoring we got at a deep discount. That makes up for your medical privacy being violated, right?”

From the link:
“Keyonna Daniels of Sacramento, Calif., and a patient of Planned Parenthood, filed a proposed class action Wednesday in the US District Court for the Western District of Washington alleging Laboratory Services Cooperative failed to implement ‘reasonable cybersecurity safeguards or policies to protect its patients’ sensitive information or supervised its IT or data security agents and employees to prevent, detect, and stop breaches of its systems.’”

After a little more than 90 minutes of arguments, it appeared that Planned Parenthood had the upper hand. Of the Republican appointees — two of whom would have to join the Democratic appointees to create a majority — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch asked questions skeptical of South Carolina’s arguments against the right to sue here.

Law Dork · Justices skeptical of S.C.'s efforts to stop suit over Planned Parenthood exclusionBy Chris Geidner
Continued thread

The WSJ reported last week #RFKJr’s #HHS planned an immediate freeze of $27.5M in #FamilyPlanning grants for groups including #PlannedParenthood.

PPFA says >300 #health centers are in the #TitleX network & Title X-funded centers received >1.5M visits in 2023.

The loss of funding will mean that “cancers go undetected, access to #BirthControl is severely reduced, & the nation’s #STI crisis worsens,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, PPFA president.
