    A video of a text post? Really?

    Here is the text. There is literally nothing else except music:

    Attn you IT systems maintainers.

    Do you manage datasets containing birth sex? Place of birth? Ancestral nationality? Gender? Political, sexual, religious preference? Health care history? poof no you don’t.

    Now make it so. It’s prevention time; time to run if you can. And hide. Don’t do the gestapo’s work for them.

    Mostly yes, but it’s software for hospitals. Kinda need a lot of that info.

      Yeah, I understand the concern behind the post, but depending on who holds the data it can be of positive use, for example in identifying at risk populations.

      Studying a sample of 2,196 low-income African Americans, Felix Aaron et al. found that persons attending church at least monthly (regular attenders) were 20% to 80% more likely than less frequent attenders to have recently obtained a mammogram, had their blood pressure measured, or obtained a dental visit.
