Senator questions Mark Zuckerberg over Meta’s healthcare data collection policies

U.S. Senator Mark Warner has expressed concerns about Meta’s collection and tracking of patient health data without user consent. In a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Warner raised questions about the use of a code called Meta Pixel, which has been installed in healthcare websites and apps and allegedly violates patient privacy. Warner has asked Zuckerberg to address seven specific questions regarding Meta’s practices and the protection of sensitive health information. These concerns come amid news of a potential data breach at Advocate Aurora Health, which involved pixel-tracking technology.
