Really informative new piece exploring GDPR in relation to recent developments in digital health!

"For the first time, the law now requires clinicians to perform a detailed balancing exercise between the interests of the patient in keeping information confidential and those of any at-risk third parties with whom they have a close relationship." theguardian.com/society/2020/m…

I've been waiting for this story for thirty years. In 1990, the world discovered Romania’s network of “child gulags,” in which an estimated 170,000 abandoned infants, children, and teens were being raised. Here’s what’s become of them. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
