That seems like a HIPAA violation because it’s unknown eyes and ears in the exam room.

There are two parts to this:
- Ethics, a doctor would be expected to know better,
- Reality, where eventually such things will just stop being 100% percent visible, and thus will happen again and again with impunity.
So, first, doctors shouldn't do that, second, ban or not, this will be happening all around us, no exit.

The tool that tried this is a monster, but I do feel sort of bad for the stock image photo models that get associated with the acts of these monsters. Like the dude in the photo could be totally chill, but is presented as though he is the pervert in the story.

Fucking mention that moron's name in the headline. Pussy reporters.
Or actual journalism.
If he's convicted of something, then yes, he gets his name on the papers; otherwise he's innocent until proven guilty.

I couldn't watch the tiktok because there were no subtitles so maybe I am missing something.
I don't understand how these glasses could be permitted in a medical setting. It's becoming more normal for medical offices here to record visits and use AI to transcribe the visit. Sure, there are concerns about those in terms of accuracy, and there is a risk of unauthorized access and systems failing, but there is a list of vetted products build to meet privacy and security requirements. Kinda the same way I am only permitted to use Copilot at work because the data is not sent back to be used in training models.
I don't believe Meta has any such programs or versions?
Fuxk tiktok, twitter, meta and google all the fuck together.
Delete them all
Fucking duh

Yes, dipshits like that should be banned from the medical profession.
9 out of 10 doctors choose not to wear pervert-glasses.
But that one guy..

There is no question that this violates doctor patient confidentiality and damages trust. Fuck no. Even if they fucking have to not take off their clothes NO.
She should have slapped those glasses off his face. Legally speaking it should be fine to punch anyone wearing pervert glasses in the face.
Tbh I’d be making a complaint to the practice, med org (if any) the practice is a part of, as well as the AMA. That’s absolutely egregious, and entirely indefensible as a medical practitioner.
