Maybe i am a bit infuriated of the salami tactics, making privacy transgressions more and more frequent. Taking pictures after asking for permission is one thing, documenting an operation where only the operation area is in view might also be necessary.

Infringing on patients privacy should be necessity-based, not by default. And the collected data should be protected as good as possible, not using some big data megacorps (that make their money off advertising or influencing people).

Or: Because the overton window got moved far enough and privacy now is a privilege of wealth.

I am confused. Why is this even up for debate? Why are we even putting up with people trying to debate this?
