.@babylonhealth is definitely NOT compliant with PIPEDA in Canada, HIPAA in the US nor GDPR. Appalling that the @shandro and the @Alberta_UCP would recommend that Canadians use a service that breaks Canadian privacy law. They clearly didn't look at the privacy policy.
For GDPR they should be identifying who their data processors are and in which country. They also should identify which data specifically they store.
Let's retain EVERYTHING!!! Including all the details of all your children for 25 years after your LAST born child. This is worse than @facebook. @BrittanyKaiser1 and @Snowden have you seen this?!
Just read section 2 on consent in the #Alberta Privacy Legislation. Does storing all your information (even 10 years after you are dead) and burying that in a privacy policy seem like reasonable disclosure and consent?

qp.alberta.ca/documents/Acts…
If you want a good cross section as to which laws apply and links information on #Canadian #Healthcare #privacy laws you can look here: colleaga.org/article/health…
It should be the other way around. You SHOULD store patient data on the device ENCRYPTED and NOT on your servers. @babylonhealth might be building one of the biggest data honeypots out there. Storing video recordings of private conversations with a physician?! I'm shocked. 😳
Tried the app with some bogus info. No prompts for disclosure and consent about recording your video or voice, or keeping records for 25 years.
They don’t even mention that in their privacy policy on mobile. And they don’t even get you to scroll to the bottom to be sure you’ve read it (hint @babylonhealth probably doesn’t want you to).
.@TELUS I know you are using @babylonhealth under the hood and may not have been aware. I know how these enterprise deals go, but your privacy policy also isn't any good either.

You both should be providing proper disclosures.
Oooh nice. Here is one better in @TELUSHealth business customer privacy policy.

page.telushealth.com/rs/655-URY-133…

They admit that data will be out of country. To be compliant with PIPEDA and GDPR in Europe you need to disclose to END USERS which date, who has it, and which country. 🤨
Since that isn't in the @TELUSHealth consumer policy & the @babylonhealth app uses a policy different than both that one and their online one I'd hardly say that checking a box is "having meaningful consent" of being recorded while talking about sensitive health info.
Canada has good privacy laws. They need to be respected. @TELUS if you need help, there are pretty clear guidelines right here: priv.gc.ca/en/privacy-top…

#Canadians please help us get this out ASAP. Everyone, please write to your MP and MPP to put pressure on.

A major barrier to increasing Canadian #COVID-19 testing capacity is a shortage of ppl needed to help process, run, interpret & communicate tests at this unprecedented time
Cdns need to exert massive public pressure to reduce red tape for diagnostic testing so that highly skilled scientists from outside public health labs can contribute labour & resources. Normally this red tape is important. Right now it is blocking our ability to respond quickly.
I am all for the red tape under normal conditions. It protects us all. However, we are a week or so away from large numbers of #COVID-19 cases entering our ERs and ICUs. Maybe more if stringent social distancing measures work.

Uncovering the Disqus data machine: @disqus shared the personal data of tens of millions of users without them or the websites knowing about it. thread - 1/13
During reporting for @NRKbeta I found that several well-known sites appear to send user data through @disqus . Some of them are: @wirecutter, @9to5mac, @ZDNet, @pcgamer. Political sites were also affected: @thehill, @BreitbartNews, @realDailyWire, and @gatewaypundit 2/13
The company says that 2 billion unique users hit their platform each month, but the number could likely be far lower. Disqus would not disclose the % that have their data shared. 3/13

Where does Balgord get funding for Anti-Hate.ca?
Partly from Mohamad Fakih of Paramount Fine Foods!
Justin Trudeau held a fundraiser at Paramount.
Fakih has sued people for defamation so funding 'anti-hate' is an investment.
antihate.ca/tags/blog
From their own letter we learn that "Anti-Hate Canada" doesn't care what police investigations prove, nor does it care if a group even engages in 'hateful' behaviour.
These are the professional grifters whose living comes from character assassination without evidence.
#Canada
It's such a neat trick:
Be a criminal.
Simultaneously start a group claiming to be 'anti-criminal.'
Use that group to silence anyone posting evidence of your criminality.
This only works on a population of clueless people who literally have no moral compass. So it works in Canada

Over half way through the year and, at long last, Alberta Q1 2019 opioid reporting is made available. Let’s have a look at the stats shall we?

#abpoli #AbLeg

alberta.ca/opioid-reports…
“There continues to be a high number of accidental fentanyl related poisoning deaths in the province,
however, the number in the most recent quarter is comparatively less than the previous.”

Sounds like the harm reduction and overdose response initiatives are helping.
This begs the question, if we are in fact seeing a decline in overdose deaths, why are we pausing these services in communities that clearly still need them?

Now is not the time defund, delay, or discontinue supervised consumption services.

#Alberta has an 8.2% unemployment rate. Massively uncomfortable question: What do you think the rate would be if #Alberta was a U-S state? The correct answer is full employment. Everyone knows how much I love Canada and #Alberta So it breaks my Cdn heart to think our federal
system is so incompetent,unflexible & ideologically biased that we should have to ask uncomfortable questions like this. Look at the low unemployment numbers in U-S states that have far fewer advantages and assets than #Alberta and you don't have to be a #Nobel prize winner in
Economics to know that #Alberta would be the superstar, the Connor McDavid of state economies if the government and courts weren't albatrosses around the necks of #Albertans I always want #Alberta to be part of Canada.But how I could blame #Albertans looking at 8.2% unemployment

We understand #UCP has concerns over #Bill9 and would like to offer members a new service.

We know that men don't always make the best health choices and not everyone has a wife to guide him. In light of this, we are introducing: #RandomOpinions on #UCPhealth

#abpoli
Our office:
Alberta Life Loving Ladies Interested in Erectile Syndromes (ALLLIES). We want you to know: We are your ALLLIES!

We promise to encourage honking as you go discuss unplanned drooping with your erectile specialist. We also have a Men's Health office!
#bill9 #abpoli
At ALLLIES, we have several volunteers with their own opinions on men's health. They tell us there is a breast cancer link (not backed by the Cancer Society) but they could be right! Better safe than snipped.

It is not too late to leave your junk alone.
