#EPA

8 posts7 participants1 post today

Neue Folge! Die elektronische Patientenakte #epa soll bundesweit ausgerollt werden - aber sie hat weiterhin Sicherheitsprobleme. @sveckert und ich sprechen mit @bkastl über die Sicherheitslücken, die sie gefunden hat und die zumindest teilweise weiterhin bestehen. Wie sähe ein sicheres System aus? Und was kann schiefgehen mit der aktuellen Architektur und Umsetzung der ePA?

Continued thread

The order late Tues by Judge #Chutkan “gives us a chance to breathe after the EPA unlawfully — & w/o #DueProcess — terminated our awards & blocked access to funds that were appropriated by #Congress & legally obligated,” said #ClimateUnited CEO Beth Bafford.

The lawsuit by Climate United Fund & other groups contends that the #EPA, Admin #LeeZeldin & #Citibank, which held the money, illegally blocked the funds awarded last year & had jeopardized the organizations’ operations.

U.S. District Judge Tanya #Chutkan says some nonprofits awarded billions for a so-called green bank to finance #CleanEnergy & #climate-friendly projects cannot have their contracts scrapped & must have access to some of the frozen money. The ruling is a defeat for #Trump’s [mockery of an] #EPA, which argues the program is rife w/ financial mismanagement.

So, ich weiß, ihr wollt alle wissen, ob die #ePA sicher ist.

Naja, darauf habe ich keine allumfassende Antwort, aber dennoch hatte ich eine nette Zeit bei @evawolfangel und @sveckert bei Frauen und Technik.

Es ging am Ende eigentlich mehr um Menschen… frauen-technik.podigee.io/26-n

The #EPA needs its mission statement replaced. It was made to stop the visable #pollution, the visable ecosystem destruction, superfund site and protection of #endangered species.
It wasn't designed with climate change or racial equity in mind at all.
#Climatechange requires a way to override nimbys to streamline one time building of #transit., dense infrastructure and renewable power grids.
At the moment the EPA is set up so it can be used as a weapon to stop anything needed to fight Climate change in terms of infrastructure building.
There needs to be an option for the EPA to weigh damage of building over damage caused by Climate change from not building it.
There also needs to be mechanisms so that BiPOC have the same tools as nimbys currently have and will have in the future to ensure they aren't undualy taken advantage of like they always have been.

At the Environmental Protection Agency…some EPA managers were told by Trump appointees that Musk’s team is rolling out AI to monitor workers, including looking for language in communications considered hostile to Trump or Musk, the two people said…
Trump-appointed officials who had taken up EPA posts told managers that DOGE was using AI to monitor communication apps and software, including Microsoft Teams, which is widely used for virtual calls and chats, said the two sources familiar with these comments. “We have been told they are looking for anti-Trump or anti-Musk language,” a third source familiar with the EPA said. —Reuters
The Trump administration has already placed hundreds of EPA employees on leave and plans to slash 65% of the agency’s budget.
In the same report, Reuters revealed that DOGE team members use Grok — the chatbot built by Musk’s AI company - #environment #EPA #coup #AmericanCoup #RepublicansDidThis #USPol #politics

Trump’s EPA Plans to Stop Collecting Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data From Most Polluters

Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said.

Im Stern gibt es ein Interview zur #ePA mit Marc Metzmacher, Hausarzt und Notfallmediziner.

Leider hinter einer Paywall, aber wesentliche Frage: Hilft die ePa im Notfall, wie vom BMG als Argument oft vorgebracht:
F: "Sie sind auch Notarzt. Hilft
Ihnen die ePA im Einsatz?"

Antwort: "Leider gar nicht! Im Notfall haben wir weder die Zeit noch die
technischen Möglichkeiten, um auf die ePA zuzugreifen. Manchmal
fehlt schlicht das Netz. Zudem müsste der Patient sein Okay geben."

Ey, wer so einen Stuss seitens Gematik verbreitet hat weder Ahnung von der DSGVO noch von Patientendatenschutzgesetz.
Damit sind die Leute ungeeignet für das Projekt und müssten gehen.

Da gehören Patientenrechtverfechter, Staatsrechtverfechter und Datenschutzverfechter dran.

Das verbrät Beitragsgelder und Patientenvertrauen.

Würde man mit Privatkassenpatientendaten starten sähe das wohl anders aus.
