The Ontario Personal Health Information Protection Act<br>

gives me the right to<br>
* be informed of the reasons for the collection, use and
disclosure of your personal health information<br>
* refuse or give consent to the collection, use or disclosure
of your personal health information, except in certain
circumstances<br>
<br>
In the early days, patients were asked to give informed
consent, consistent with the law. I would be given a form to
sign that explicitly mentioned that information was being
collected, and that I had right of refusal.<br>
<br>
Now, nobody is being informed of the fact of collection, or of
their right of refusal. This is prima facie illegal, according
to the statement of principles on the web site I liked. And
people don't care that their civil rights are being slowly
eroded. "Don't worry about it", as you say. This process of
civil rights erosion doesn't end well, it ends up with what's
going on the United States, or worse. A generation of people
are growing up, under a constant stream of propaganda from the
surveillance capitalists, that privacy doesn't matter, and
that privacy is the enemy of "convenience". And that worries
me.<br>
<br>
Like for example, we just bought a new washing machine and
dryer. The top selling brand transmits everything you do to
the manufacturer over the internet. For now, this is opt in,
but internet surveillance already cannot be turned off for a
growing number of consumer machines and appliances. We bought
a less popular brand with no surveillance, because that's
something that's still available.<br>
<br>
Remember that Canadian government petition circulated earlier
on the mailing list, about consumer data privacy and the right
to repair? I signed it.</blockquote>
