Medical information being public due to mistake of face book
Once again the question of 'credibility' on face book!
FEB 20 (WTN) - If you use face book then your sensitive health related information may leak in it. The credibility of face book, one of the popular social networking sites, is again under suspicion, because face book is accused of failing in protecting users' sensitive health data in their groups.
In a complaint filed in the Federal Trade Commission in the US, it has been said that face book had marketed these products by speaking personal health records and the patients who kept their data in it were made public. According to the information, this sensitive case of leaking data first came to news in July last year, when a woman member of the group, who were suffering from gene mutation, saw that the names and email addresses of users are easily downloaded. It is being said that they were manually and chrome extension downloaded.
However, after all this, a social networking expert had claimed that he had made changes to that group and changed it to Secret Groups and now it has become difficult to join, because it has become difficult to find. The complaint in this entire case said that sharing the private posted personal health information publicly is a violation of the law.
For your information, let you know that this is not the first time that face book has been accused of publicizing personal information. Prior to this, face book has been negotiating with FTC for billions of dollars of fines.
For your information, let you know that face book makes special kind of medical care groups. It is said that in order to connect patients and other people, various information is given and it is claimed that their information will not be made public. By believing the privacy of face book, many users have asked many different types of personal questions about their problems. Not only this, the users shared their medical information along with their medical reports on the groups.
