It is feasible to CHOOSE to use OneDrive and take all the proper precautions. We're talking about home users getting OneDrive data uploaded without their consent through their "push assumed default", and "giant popup, tiny cancel" setups.

The article you link only says it's okay when using a OneDrive business plan together with a signed agreement.

You should be, if you're in a work computer with privileged documents, controlling it with an appropriate level of care. No matter Linux or Windows. If you're using home and defaults, you've failed no matter what.

We’re not talking about work computers. We’re talking about patients - end users who have downloaded documents from their doctor.

These people should not be blamed for using defaults, or for insecure actions happening from their inaction.

I said home computers multiple times and you again replied about work environments. You need to start paying attention.

The moment a lawyer saves their medical records in a way that unintentionally and without their consent uploads them to OneDrive, they have a pretty solid case to charge Microsoft for a HIPAA violation

Are we talking about the same comment?

Lawyers, once they take off the suit and go home to their kids, are end users, not businesses. It would simply be easier for someone to initiate the lawsuit if they have a background in law.
