Anonymization of data is not a simple task. Even with the noblest of intentions things can go wrong. See the problems with the sharing of medical data in the UK and examples from t…

Even with the best of intentions things can go wrong and there are lots of unanswered questions in this emerging field. I'm sure the medical organizations involved are very aware o…

Nothing surprising, although "rightdoing" sounds like it's straight out of 1984. Of course any administration is going to say all its actions are good. Things are bad, like spying …
