Filed under "things worse than you believed possible."

Friendly reminder that Meta is already facing a lawsuit for illegally collecting patient information from hospital websites, so they absolutely have the capacity to match your use of Meta apps with your medical profile, like your location, or whether you access an out of state abortion website, or if you schedule a hospital stay out of state.

Things that GOP state attorney generals are very eager to learn about.
