AmerisourceBergen surely has a role to play here. They distributed to pharmacies and towns enough at times to give each resident of the town like a 100 pills. I expect a corporation that distributes drugs that everyone knew could be deadly to be monitoring that distribution. They didn't. They seem to have only responded to government mandated requests for information.

AmerisourceBergen is the largest company by revenue (not including government, university or hospitals) in Pennsylvania and one of the big three of the pharmaceutical distributors. It will be interesting to see why the DoJ is singling out this company from the other two larger distributors.

I project that just like AmerisourceBergen is accused of here, all three of the big distributors have just been refusing to take any responsibility for what they do: drug distribution. They think that all they need to do is report some of their data to the government when the government requests it. Unless they are forced by the government to take some responsibility, they just won't, even in the face of tens of thousands of dead Americans every year.

Never do these corporations wonder, "why do we need a distributor between the pharmaceutical and the pharmacy/hospital" at all. Unless they are forced by the government to take some responsibility, they just won't, even in the face of tens of thousands of dead Americans every year.

This is not a privacy problem based on how Apple has architected the data. From the article:

That means that the location info is stored on your iPhone, and is encrypted and dissociated from you if it needs to leave the device.

No outsiders can see your Significant Locations, and they're not accessible through iCloud either.

The 'terrible candidate' is another lie they are pushing. Don't fall for it.

The terrible people of there party got together to promote Mastriano and the members of the party elected him in their primary election. Our Republican neighbors voted for him, many of them twice now.

It's the Republican Party that is terrible and Mastriano was their chosen statewide leader.
