The venn diagram of men who dont know shit about HIPAA and who defend the men who violate it is a circle.
The venn diagram of men who argue semantics in defense of predatory men and who will argue about those semantics as they apply to men who've done wrong is also a circle. https://twitter.com/DataLyfe/status/1296120539765932032

A circle jerk of predatory assholes who wouldnt know consent if it screamed in their faces.
"It happened in the UK"
And?
The UK has the DPA which is a HIPAA equivalent and he violated that too. But I'm supposed to take the word of someone with "bad HIPAA takes" and is "mostly compliant" of COURSE you argue in defense of a blatant violation

An elaboration on why it's not appropriate to contact a patient on social media. https://www.aafp.org/afp/2011/0701/p105.html
