Don’t have Facebook myself, so going off what is being said, so consider that in my reply. Just heard a guy on a tv news report saying he had downloaded his Facebook data and found that some, but not all, of his calls included voice recordings. No clue what the proportion was nor what the determining factors were, nor even if this is accurate. I do know that if it is true (and collection of at the very least metadata is not debated) the potential hippa exposure for docs is $50000 per occurrence. Not sure if metadata would constitute a breach, but the fact is that acknowledging that a certain person is a patient of mine absolutely does constitute a breach, the concern is very very real.
