Facebook tried to get hospitals to share patient data, including medical conditions

Facebook has a blatant viciousness about its data collection that gives it a certain je ne sais quoi which makes it easy to target.

But don’t forget that in terms of surveillance, Google is the worst. That’s where we should be aiming our guns. I back Richard Stallman’s proposal: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/03/facebook-abusing-data-law-privacy-big-tech-surveillance

Let’s ban registration of data that are not necessary for the system’s primary function. Which means that Google would be banned from all of its data mining. Harsh? No, necessary - no more, no less than necessary.
