Will people here use/try Meta's #threads when available? Would love to know the reasons or if it would be just for fun/curiosity.
The amount of data collected is insane imo.

The gist of HIPAA is that the patient decides who knows their health status. If they want to announce every rash and sniffle on Meta and thus to every advertiser and government agent in existence, HIPAA won’t stop them.
Doctors are allowed to broadcast their own, personal health issues all over social media, but not anyone else’s.
