    Europaweiter Zugriff auf deutsche Patientendaten?

    Bislang können Patienten in Deutschland der Einrichtung einer elektronischen Patientenakte widersprechen. Eine neue EU-Verordnung könnte dieses Recht SWR-Recherchen zufolge aushebeln. Datenschützer warnen…..

      Mit der Digitalisierung von Gesundheitsdaten schafft der Staat nicht nur lukrative Geschäftsmöglichkeiten für große Konzerne, sondern nutzt dies auch für seine autoritäre, biopolitische Transformation. Auf Beschluss des Bundesrats soll die deutsche Polizei mit Hilfe von Software nun massenhaft die psychologischen Gesundheitsdaten der Menschen analysieren.

      Hinzu kommt, dass dem Bundesrat vorschwebt, dass dafür ein Programm des vom rechten Tech-Oligarchen Peter Thiel gegründeten US-Konzerns Palantir zum Einsatz kommen soll. Palantir hat bereits verschiedene Softwares für Überwachungsstaaten entwickelt, die u.A. in Bayern und Hessen zum Einsatz kommen/kamen.

      Nicht nur aus historischen Gründen ist die Verdächtigung und Kriminalisierung psychisch erkrankter Menschen und die Überwachung (nicht nur) von Gesundheitsdaten durch die deutsche Polizei etwas, gegen das wir uns unter allen Umständen wehren sollten!

      In Altendorf im Kanton Schwyz entsteht der Europa-Standort des Unternehmens Palantir [ ]. Das der Firma: Daten zusammenführen und verknüpfen. Hernani Marques, Sprecher des Chaos Computer Club Schweiz, sagt, was er davon hält.

      "Das eine ist, dass die Kundenliste von Palantir praktisch schon aus und im westlichen Raum besteht. Das liest sich wie das Who-is-Who des ganzen militärisch-industriellen Komplexes. Das andere ist, dass es schon etwas bedeutet, wenn die CIA von Anfang an dabei ist...."

                      Vibe coding is a rising trend in software development where programmers rely on intuition over established practices, documentation, and security checks. This approach, likened to improvisational jazz, has become popular in the era of generative AI tools that suggest code without thorough understanding, leading to insecure applica

                            I have to agree here, as far as I know hasn’t invented much of anything, but to be fair, doesn’t so much invent totally new products as they usually improve and iterate upon existing technologies. Apple does indeed keep their “walled garden” fairly well locked down, but in my opinion that’s why the garden is worth spending time in. I don’t have time to maintain a garden myself and Apple’s garden aligns with my sensibilities, it works for me that they (mostly) keep out the weeds.
