We get that all the time here and we don’t know who’s using what. This is why we need to license (and tax) all data sellers in the US and maybe the world for that matter. The query monsters don’t ever stop 
and all of what they do is not bad as we get some really good stuff too but the bottom feeders with selling data, well most of them are just that, at the bottom. In the UK a friend told me that being an insurance rep was at the bottom of the line too as it is in Germany with being the #1 ranked worst job. The problem is the imbalance between the intangible versus the tangible business and I can’t fry a “Facebook Like” in the skillet yet for breakfast so I stay with what matters first and that is tangibles and technology used to create them.

It’s like pack of thieves as it’s basically money for nothing and the profits for free. I’m telling you good or bad, the query masters can’t help themselves…I know I used to write them…good ones for efficiencies and not profit…but the scumbags are out there too. Keep an eye out too on clinical trials, this is starting to leak over there too. BD

The security of NHS data was thrown into further doubt yesterday after it emerged anonymous
patient information has been used by a marketing consultancy to advise clients on targeting their social media campaigns. It comes amid growing concerns over plans to trawl patient records from every GP surgery in England, which were postponed last month after NHS chiefs admitted they had not done enough to inform and reassure the public about the scheme, known as care.data. MPs sought reassurances last week that the GP data, which could be accessed by researchers and approved private companies, would not be vulnerable to breaches of patient confidentiality.
