Another common topic. Health concerns?

No one wants their bowel/fertility/pregnancy/prostate/breast concerns made public or traded between companies. If for no other reason than health insurance fuckery.

To add a new point, what about the scope of trust here?

For the lifetime (which is?!) of the data do you trust:

- all the executives who make decisions on the data? IE direct policies but also indirect decisions like what budget exists for securing it.

- all the executive of companies who might buy the data or buy the company that has the data.

- all the technical admins of the originating company AND all the companies that might later have the data.

- all the governments that have legal leverage over the above companies

Honestly, I think this is a huge ask.
