We caught 4 more states sharing personal health data with Big Tech
Healthcare exchanges in Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island shared users’ sensitive health data with companies like Google and LinkedIn

6/ Beyond articles, the CDC has already begun removing or altering health data on its website, including statistics on HIV and youth risk behavior.
