There are a myriad of reasons why this is bad, and feel free to ask for explanation of any. This is just off the top of my head.
A single large monopolistic corporation should not have access to your purchasing and medical history
A single breach can now mean purchasing history and medical history
Huge potential for ads targeted for a person showing up on a device that isn’t strictly theirs (like a family computer) that by doing so endangers their well-being.
Reselling of “anonymous” medical info (it’ll happen) that is super easy to tie back to previously purchased Amazon info.
Third-parties who purchase info not having as hardened security as Amazon leaving data out in the open
AI/algoithmic price-gouging on items based on medical data
Even more god damned lobbying for anti-patient/anti-consumer based changes to health care law with the financial power of Amazon behind it
This sets the bar for other Big Tech and what they also have to do to stay competitive
Contacting Amazon customer service for errant prescription/care charges
Do you really want Jeff Bezos and an Amazon Board of Directors death panel deciding what care you receive?
Can you tell me why?
Healthcare is already heavily corporatized in the US, this is just another worsening step.
Have you used this service? Can you tell me if it’s better or worse than other medical services available?
I haven’t yet.
A poster above has.
I don’t trust Amazon to shop with.
I expect it’s only a matter of time before there’s a huge HIPAA violation when we find out they’re using health info to sell us shit.
😂
The hate for Amazon is real here I guess.
