Sound familiar?

Wouldn't this be an outright HIPAA violation? It fucking should be. Especially when:

the CDC has installed Google Analytics to measure its traffic stats, and has, for some reason, included AddThis code which allows Facebook and Twitter sharing (beckoning the question of who socializes disease pages), the CDC also sends a third party request to each of those companies. That request looks something like this—http://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/STDFact-Herpes.htm—and makes explicit to those third party corporations in its HTTP referrer string that your search was about herpes. Anonymized data = profiles, which means profiles + the slightest link to your identity = honey dicked. permalinksaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]TwiztedZero 0 points 3 hours ago  If you are wise and full of smartness you will realize that if you don't leave skid marks in your under pants or on your bedsheets then those same companies cannot possibly track you. Its a propaganda war designed to fill you with fear and trepidation because this is just another tool for control in the great book of governing by proxy which is what corporations do to sheeple of all ages around the orb called Earth. permalinksavereportgive goldreply
