      I think they probably count on the Edward Snowden effect - i.e. people are massively outraged for a few weeks, then they lose interest, move on to the next hot topic and nothing changes.

      Question -:why is there no website that lists and compiles these issues?

      Is it shutdown by their legal?

      Maybe someone could start a database distributed as torrent. So many people can host it and spin up as needed?

          I’m a us citizen, but naturalized. Meaning they can accuse me of terrorism and deport me, whereas for Americans born here - they can’t really do that. Has to be someone born in us.

            Whereas a born American can just be accused of terrorism and be thrown in jail for god knows how many years?

            If you’re not willing to be the change then it doesn’t need changing.

        Tell me you didn’t go to law school without telling me you didn’t go to law school.

        Edit - As American prisons are a form of institutional violence, your warning that posting Wikipedia links “could be in violation of Federal law” is in itself a call for violence against the original poster. You can self report to the gulags.

      Stephen Helmsley:

      He was managing partner and chief financial officer at Arthur Andersen.

      Super shocking that he was doing insider trading at UHC. They hired a known crook and paid him tens of millions a year.

    Dr. Levi better be careful, United may try to claim he’s violating HIPAA by publishing these details (even though it’s legal).

      Not a violation unless he has identified the patient

        HIPAA can be violated without giving a name, if certain details are disclosed; eg the only 6 year old in the state with rickettsiapox who was admitted on December 21.

        But no, this tweet did not violate HIPAA.

          Right that’s why was careful to say ”identified” and not “named”. If you give someone enough information to infer with certainty a patient’s identity without express permission from that patient, you’re cooked.
