The Snowden privacy panic has spread to medical research. This is a problem
=============
Since the Snowden revelations everyone has been panicking about privacy. Google, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo are racing to show users how well they can protect their data. Government contractors are double-scrutinising new hires and encrypting everything in sight. But there’s about to be one cautious move too many, and it’s a serious threat to medical research.
The European Parliament is proposing a new law which will effectively illegalise a NHS database of patient records, along with many large research projects. The idea had been kicking around for a while, but progress ground to a halt last year. After Snowden though, the kicking enthusiastically returned.
