I’ve been doing a lot of research recently to find more blogs to follow and more resources to bring here. As I have in the past, I’m finding a very disturbing trend. TMI!
HIPPAA laws follow you to the internet. Posting pics and telling the story, even if you leave out names, could be construed as a direct violation of those HIPPAA rights and laws. Besides, you have broken a huge line of trust by posting it to the world.
Now I do understand that blogs are created to help get out the frustrations, cheers and sorrows of life. I understand that you have “officially” posted that all names and circumstances are fictional. BUT, you are using blogger and it says where you are located from cause it’s free and you have put up pics of the event. Both are difficult to push past when you want to pretend, so why bother? Think to how frustrated you will be with a lawsuit and a loss of your career because of a post or two. Wives, also think and ask before posting information. Even drills, there may be others at drill that don’t want their picture posted for all to see. It’s a very tricky spot.
I try to be more general and things that come up that cause an issue I try really hard to post date so it’s not time sensitive even though I’m working hard to be generic. I’m definitely not calling anyone out as I will never claim to be perfect in my posts either. But it is something I think about and I want to make sure others are aware. It’s a very fine line and not an easy one to balance.
But I do want others to understand the line they are crossing. Do so as an informed adult, u really can’t claim ignorance when you know you shouldn’t be talking about anyone else’s life. No matter how that life effects us.
