Query:
A group of Senate Democrats are pushing legislation that would
limit the use of tracking and other health data collected for
COVID-19 tracking purposes.
https://www.warner.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/3/0/30475df0-8e30-4cfb-8f09-3a766a617f7a/213A453225B41E57915F240CFD0CA3B3.phepa-letter-to-leadership-final.docx.pdf
They have asked the Senate to include the Public Health
Emergency Privacy Act
(https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/3749)
in the next COVID stimulus package. The bill would:
-- Ensure that data collected for public health is strictly
limited for use in public health;
-- Explicitly prohibit the use of health data for
discriminatory, unrelated, or intrusive purposes, including
commercial advertising, e-commerce, or efforts to gate access to
employment, finance, insurance, housing, or education
opportunities;
-- Prevent the potential misuse of health data by government
agencies with no role in public health;
-- Require meaningful data security and data integrity
protections - including data minimization and accuracy - and
mandate deletion by tech firms after the public health emergency.
My questions:
-- Is this kind of legislation necessary? Why?
-- Are there any downsides to these limits on use of COVID-19
health data?
-- Do you see the legislation as likely to pass or to be
included in a stimulus package yet this year?
