I'm not going to dispute that this is wrong (the ICO determined so), and that Google should be punished for breaking the law.

That being said, I would also respect someone who said that it is nice to see Google aid in medical research and see some of the best minds of ML allowed to access high quality data to develop these solutions.

This was not a Google ad network integrating medical records in order to target the sale of medicin... It was a medical research project.

I'm going to get fired up once someone gets hurt. I know someone is going to call slippery slope, but until someone can prove harm (beyond the broken trust and principle of data sharing), I'm going to save my pitch fork for bigger problems.

Everything at Google is ad related and the output from these analysis will eventually become part of Googles ad algorithm.

Everything in google cloud and paid GSuite is 100% not used for anything ad related and you can check the terms and conditions yourself.
