Good to know
Do they want to stay in business? Great! Figure it out - this is part of the cost of doing business.
Climbs on soapbox I cannot stand it when business leaders won’t do the hard work to run their businessea properly. They are greedy and lazy and this is the market’s hand slapping them around.
Business leaders don’t want to work
anymore
We will be increasing our third quarter profits by 2%.
We will be selling our customers data to the Trump Gustapo.
That doesn’t nuillify HIPAA.
It does if Trump can pardon corporations.
Not really. Pardons apply to criminal liability, not civil fines. HIPAA violations usually result in civil penalties. A pardon wouldn’t erase a regulatory fine from HHS. That’s not how pardons work.
I want to call your response out as doomerism, but I’ll allow you to retract the idea you put forth with the additional knowledge put forth here.
Getting sick of this “we’re fucked, there’s nothing we can do” sentiment everywhere I go on Lemmy. It’s sus AF at this point. It’s also contagious, which I believe is the point. So I certainly will never stand for it in response to anything I put out here.
Do you think there will be regulatory fines from HHS?
I mean, maybe if a hospital does something Secretary Brainworm doesn’t approve of like recommending vaccines or other proven, legitimate medical treatments, then they’d get fined. But failing to protect privacy? Why would HHS under this administration care?
You’re shifting the goalposts. The original claim was that a pardon would negate HIPAA fines, which it wouldn’t. Now you’re saying HHS won’t enforce the law — different argument entirely.
If you want to discuss regulatory capture or selective enforcement, fine — but let’s not pretend that means the law ceases to exist or that we should throw up our hands. That’s the kind of learned helplessness I’m pushing back on.
Again – sus duoomerism. GTFO homie. I smell your camp from a mile the fuck away.
I’d argue that you shifted the goal posts when you suggested that civil fines would be a possible path to punishment.
That’s all I was responding to. I never suggested that pardons would come into it.
You’re now arguing over a claim you say you never made, while responding to a correction I gave to someone else’s hypothetical about pardons.
So either you misunderstood the original thread and jumped in sideways, or you’re walking it back now. Either way:
Pardons don’t cover HIPAA fines.
HIPAA is still law, even if enforcement is selective.
Doomerism isn’t analysis.
This isn’t dodgeball, it’s policy. Stay sharp or stay quiet.
Hey. Thanks for providing advice and guidance like that. It’s needed, and it’s good, and it’s awesome.
All I hear is that it’s too costly for them to exist. So, dont.
And they wonder why people want them luigified? I’m not even American and I want that.
So they’re planning to hand trans people and women over to the Gestapo for profit.
Health Care Giants: “It’s Too Costly To Protect Your Privacy”
Luigi: “It’s going to be too costly to protect your safety.”
It is not too costly. That is fucking bullshit. It just won’t earn as much money for their shareholders.
Funny that it happens right as eugenicists and transphobes take power
