The real reason Facebook bought WhatsApp and what it means for health records..... http://goo.gl/MkU39D #caredata
"WhatsApp notoriously rifles through your address book, scoops up your phone numbers, & uploads them to its servers"
Well, well

"[Caredata] scheme was delayed this week, so a new round of misleading PR can be whipped up - but..fundamentals are unchanged"
@OsmanBhatti -
"If Facebook values your phone book at $42, (or £25.24) today, what do you think your lifelong medical record is worth?"

@C7RKY@OsmanBhatti A friend worked on diff nhs IT project. Was told to test security so it passed. Security usually tested to fail point... -

@carolynUK@OsmanBhatti But what makes you think that matters, when it comes to extracting profit from our data (at our expense) 'at cost'?

@C7RKY@OsmanBhatti It's called capitalism - 'all's fair in love and war' where making a buck of five is involved! -
@SusanAnnSchofie@OsmanBhatti I think we all know and accept it, albeit reluctantly, in most areas. But when it comes to our GP records? No. -
@C7RKY@OsmanBhatti Couldn't agree more. Have opted out already. Re my children, on form it said doctor would consider my request. Ominous! -
@SusanAnnSchofie@OsmanBhatti Consider? Oh, I think I know why - because under 18s don't have a choice currently. Down to the GP apparently. -
.
@SusanAnnSchofie@OsmanBhatti V wrong imho, but that said, none of us are truly opted out on current#caredata rules. It's a fake opt-out. -
@C7RKY@OsmanBhatti As a parent, I think it's disgraceful that the state has the power to take away my rights as the mother of my children! -
@SusanAnnSchofie@OsmanBhatti I feel exactly the same as a father. And I 've no intention of allowing them to do so. This is one we must win
