California
Hi Everyone,
I am unsure where to post this. Earlier today I accessed Facebook and in the suggested friends section my therapist showed up. I have never Google searched her name, emailed her from my Gmail account and we have no mutual friends.
The occurrence of all the people who could show up as a potential friend being a very private doctor makes me feel severely violated. How did Facebook know to link us together. My doctor showing up is just too uncanny.
Is there any recourse? If I sued would Facebook have to disclose how their algorithim put my doctor and I together? I understand if I sound overreaching, but my patient rights are protected under HIPPA.
