Taking data from patients in England was so unpopular in 2014 it had to be shelved. Now it’s happening without the scrutiny

@freddy Ah, I remember a case from not too long ago where a german youtuber, who films abandoned places, walked into an old hospital (easily accessible by opening one door) and found thousands of patient files from 10 years prior.

The place was pretty much empty except for those shelves filled with data down in the basement.

The major of that town was so "flustered" by this, he simply pressed charges against said youtuber and gave some angry interviews... He didn't seem to mind all those files still being around.
