Facebook Wanted to Get In on the Health Data Craze

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is headed to Congress next week to testify about the social network’s privacy practices amid ongoing revelations about the information it shared with political data firm Cambridge Analytica. Facebook’s entire business model relies on people to trust it with a wealth of personal information.

Until last month, the company was in talks with several hospitals and medical groups over a deal to share anonymized patient data with the social network, CNBC reports.
