Amazon Buying One Medical
Do You Want a Tech Giant to Own Your Private Health Data?
First Amazon found out what you read.
Then Amazon found out what you buy.
Then they figured out what you eat.
Soon, they may have access to your private health information.
We live in a world where a small group of tech giants (often referred to as FAAMG – Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google) have access to our personal data through smart phones, computers, and a whole array of other smart devices. We are in many ways already at the mercy of how these companies leverage our private information. Yet, where is the limit?
On July 21, 2022, Amazon announced that it would be purchasing One Medical for $4 billion.
How do we feel about the addition of private medical data to the data pool these tech giants already have access to? What are the implications of this purchase?
