Facebook has asked several major U.S. hospitals to share anonymized data
about their patients, such as illnesses and prescription info, for a
proposed research project. Facebook was intending to match it up with user
data it had collected, and help the hospitals figure out which patients
might need special care or treatment.

The proposal never went past the planning phases and has been put on pause
after the Cambridge Analytica data leak scandal raised public concerns over
how Facebook and others collect and use detailed information about Facebook
users.
