People with disabilities often find their privacy violated as accessing essential services requires disclosing sensitive health information. This information is collected and shared beyond healthcare settings, compromising confidentiality. Instead of protective measures, governments emphasize fraud prevention, increasing surveillance. This creates a trade-off where individuals must surrender their privacy to obtain necessary benefits. The eligibility assessment processes can be invasive, causing fear that ordinary activities will raise suspicions, ultimately limiting personal autonomy. Such a system lacks trust in the population it serves, instead exercising control.
Privacy is often compromised for people with disabilities, as accessing essential services requires disclosing sensitive health data, increasing surveillance and control over their lives.
Governments prioritize anti-fraud narratives over protecting rights, leading to invasive data practices that require people with disabilities to surrender their privacy to receive support.
