Funny story: a few years ago we found out that a now-thankfully-defunct medtech startup was using publicly shared google docs as backing store for doctor and patient data.

We found out about it when I discovered that they were marshalling all of that information on our etherpad instance, presumably because the API was easier.

We need privacy legislation with teeth, with serious consequences for companies and developers alike, and we need it ten years ago.
