A US Congress Committee wrote to Google and Ascension Health requesting briefing by December 6 on a Google project that allows the search giant access to millions of people&rsquo;s detailed health data.

However, the committee said in its letter that this initiative raises serious privacy concerns, including to what extent were patients informed about the companies' agreement.

Seven out of ten of those patients can control their seizures with medication.&nbsp;

The initiative aims to de-incentivise users from making posts for the sole purpose of garnering likes, with Instagram saying it is working on finding a way for creators on the platform to still be able to prove their value to potential sponsors or partners.
