And how is medical information any different from financial information? Financial information can be used to do exactly everything you said about leaked medical records, yet no one worries if their bank/identity has been compromised.
- hobs 12y agoBecause people dont ascribe the same level of importance to that. It may seem trivial, but most people would be less shy about most of their transactions going out in the world than naked pictures of them in compromising situations.

- JshWright 12y agoI don't follow... If I didn't know it, why would I care? If I did know it, then I would care a great deal, as HIV is still very much a stigmatized infection.
- hobs 12y agoConsidering that would still be medical data, and my original point is to shield someone's medical data (in that specific case, privacy to not have your nudes on the internet), I dont think I would, sounds like something I would be super private about!
- headShrinker 12y agoUp until recently your insurance could change over night based on medical status and when the insurance company finds out. Financial information is completely different. Also medical information is protected under a specially designed law. It's not just private information, it's your medical condition.
