Trump-era agency 'pseudonymizes' federal health records for 8M people

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is unilaterally moving to anonymize medical records for over 8 million federal workers, retirees, and their families. This privacy-focused move, originating from a Trump-era executive order, is drawing backlash from Democrats and employee unions who see it as potential overreach and a threat to data security and individual privacy, despite the agency's claims of safeguarding personal details.
