Aktion T4 next? This is a dark dark road. I suspect the US will become like Germany in the next few decades where the paranoia about handing any data over is justifiably high. I hope this burns the unethical side of the tech industry to the ground. It deserves it.
Google is certified and runs the biggest medical database with (I believe without googling this) the biggest hospital operator in the USA.
I have a condition which is rare enough that it doesn't get enough funding and data is missing

I agree generally but I hope we make as much real anonymous health data available for research.

That doesn't matter _at all_ when the government comes knocking at Google's door - in the best case, they have a subpoena that can at least be appealed afterwards, in the worst case it's DOGE teens backed by a bunch of heavily armed guys in camouflage.

Which is evidentially not this lot. Not even remotely.
This is just another angle of placing people in camps. Combine this with the overzealous focus on transvestites and the so called "illegal aliens" you should see a pattern with where the Nazis began.
Even if you are a current supporter of this administration this all should give you a moment of pause really. Even if you think the current administration isn’t about this, and it’s fear mongering by the media to you, what if the next administration goes a step further than you like, and this is where the door was set open? There is a reason the constitution was set up the way it was in the light of not having a King…
Not in camps like divided by opinion.
The criteria for diagnosing ASD today are vastly different from those that would’ve resulted in an autism diagnosis shortly after the abolishment of lobotomy, it is hardly surprising the rate keeps going up as you widen the net.
Not that much.
The difference between now and 50 years ago is that a) we don't just throw them into asylums, b) we actually have accessibility of getting diagnosed, c) employment opportunities suitable for many people with mental disabilities (such as factory line assembly) have gone down the drain.

> transvestites The focus seems to lie on transgender people, not cross dressers.

This has become an issue big enough that the US company I work for is actually removing data from US cloud providers to make it harder to get at. The European divisions have started data sovereignty projects because it's now a principal risk.
I'm out of the cloud as well.
