Crisis Pregnancy Centers Under Scrutiny: Public Pressure Sparks Change!
Public pressure works! Crisis pregnancy centers are scrubbing false HIPAA claims from their websites. While six centers have completely removed misleading language, most still dodge HIPAA laws. These “fake clinics” continue to collect sensitive data without proper disclosure. Keep the pressure on, folks—it’s making these centers sweat!
Hot Take:
Looks like these crisis pregnancy centers finally got the memo: when it comes to privacy claims, you can’t just “fake it till you make it”! Sneaky edits and website scrubs are happening faster than a Friday night pizza order, but don’t be fooled—there’s still a lot of work to do in making sure your sensitive data isn’t just another casualty in the battle of misinformation.
Key Points:
- Several crisis pregnancy centers have removed misleading privacy protection claims from their websites.
- EFF’s complaints to state attorneys general prompted these changes, showing public pressure is effective.
- Of 21 CPCs cited, six completely removed HIPAA claims, while one made partial changes.
- Despite website edits, many CPCs are still not subject to HIPAA and can misuse sensitive data.
- EFF continues to monitor these centers and urges further action from state attorneys general.
