You Have No Medical Privacy (invidious.privacyredirect.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?

This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing.

We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.

You should leave a direct link. Invidious is not the only YouTube frontend people are using.

You can copy the part of the url watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpU and use it in the frontend you prefer.

various tools are prepared for automatic redirection to a frontend, but they cannot recognize any rare or new frontend's url to do the same if the linked one does not work

And OP can just provide a direct link, no?

Just FYI, the certificate for that server was marked untrustworthy.

Are you using an outdated OS? It works fine for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I didn't have any issues either. And IDC about self-signed certs, from reputable people, either.

The video is also on Odysee, but for me there is no marking.

It's just self signed, if the maintainers of those instances can keep them running despite greedy, horrible yt shenanigans, I'm fairly confident in their ability and self interest, in proper security.

If that's the case, then they're technically savvy enough to use Let's Encrypt which is universally trusted.

That's odd, it seems fine on my end. But here's another instance link: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpU

That one worked for me, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ooh, very interesting. TY!!

It's a mess and another reason to eliminate middle men. I'm okay with data being collected for WHO, for purposes of tracking morbidity and mortality, and modality for treatment, but I'd be interested in digging into how those rules are written, too.
