Health data at Microsoft

The Free ThinkerThe CNIL authorizes the storage of Social Security data at Microsoft!

The Free Thinker - February 02, 2024

Making such a decision demonstrates to what extent the French authorities are corrupt and to what extent France is sinking into the Third World and poverty.

   

How is it possible that a nation like France which spends more than 300 billion euros each year on its health system cannot afford a Data Hub to secure all its health data? It's inconceivable, we have the means to do it but we are not doing it in order to offer health data to the US Big Data giants. It is extremely humiliating but it perfectly shows what the political agenda of the current regime is.

In the absence of a European service provider, the CNIL has validated the hosting of French health data at Microsoft, for a period of three years. And this, despite “the risk of communication to foreign powers”.

The CNIL has authorized the temporary hosting at the American Microsoft of a health data warehouse for research powered by Health Insurance, a first for the French guardian of digital freedoms, according to a decision published Wednesday on Legifrance.

CNIL - augmented cameras

Equality and ReconciliationSo-called "augmented" cameras in public spaces: the position of the CNIL

Equality and Reconciliation - 25 Jul 2022

Following a public consultation, the CNIL publishes its position on the conditions for deploying "augmented" video devices in places open to the public.

   

In particular, it presents the legal framework currently applicable and highlights the risks to the rights and freedoms of individuals.

Since 2017, the CNIL has called for vigilance regarding developments in video protection tools and the inadequacy of the legal framework with certain technologies sometimes deployed. However, for several years, new types of cameras equipped with artificial intelligence software have been developed. These are, for example, devices that film the public highway and can count in real time the different uses (pedestrians, cars, bicycles) in order to list them, or that count and categorize (gender, age, etc.) people frequenting a shopping center in order to adapt the advertising content or the layout of the signs or products.
