NEW from me in @pnas.org on the risks of data sharing with qualitative research:
"Today, confidentiality risks are amplified by social media, surveillance, and AI tools, which make ample data about people publicly available, thus making deidentification less effective"

This is why we have the deidentification protocol, people!
The Chuck E Cheese "Deidentification Protocol" must be followed, lest it be resurrected using some kind of pizza based black magic and destroy us all.

One thing hipaa did right is put actual rules around deidentification, which iirc require srs bzns deidentification not tied to a specific technology or assumptions about ever-improving reidentification techniques.
If you’re not under hipaa, though, watever.

Because "deidentification" is obviously magic and never reversible using basic statistics. 🤬

some depersonalization / deidentification type stuff happening to it tonight yeah

Deidentification is going to be a big play, I suspect, they started to really roll that way at the tail end of the Floyd protests...I suspect that they will be leading with it a lot now

The deidentification protocol is nothing to mess around with.

Just two of the fascinating issues raised by this:
1) The flight attendants union @flyingwithsara.bsky.social @afacwa.org is fighting it.
2) Court-appointed 3rd-party ombudsman will oversee a “deidentification” process. IIRC, earlier research shows efforts to anonymize data like this always fail.

Google’s purchase of Spirit airways internal data is extremely interesting, and so is the way it intersects with the claims of unions that *haven’t* gone belly up really raises questions about alternative governance… www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...

I am 100% sure that in no way is his database going to be made properly with deidentification of patients.
Because this administration can't do properly.

Some new followers. Time to tell a long rambling medical story in order to make them think twice about that. :)
I'll keep it all in one thread. But it's going to be blog length, so you might want to mute the thread.
[Like all my medical stories some details changed or merged for deidentification]

Let’s try this again. The first time I posted this I got a little too personal maybe, so I’m just going to leave this here and call complete and utter BS. Also, confounding variables and bias are a thing. Check yourselves, BYU.
BYU research explores why people leave religion — and what happens next
In June, BYU professors Sam Hardy and Justin Dyer published research regarding religious deidentification and its effects on young people.

You can consult people who are more culturally competent in the specific subculture, give them a deidentified sample, and get *their* vibe check, but if you're going outside the organization for that you have to be *scrupulously* careful about confidentiality, the deidentification is lossy,

This does not violate HIPAA. ChatGPT programs used in healthcare IT implementations are subject to the same PHI restrictions and deidentification requirements as all other data in those environments, which, not for nothing, they have been using to build machine learning models for at least a decade.
