Fortunately, HIPAA doesn’t care about some dumb ToS. If a site I used violated my healthcare privacy rights, I’m reporting it to the feds for them to drop the hammer, and I couldn’t care less what the site’s ToS says.
You can’t disclaim your legal obligations.
HIPPA is a privacy obligation for healthcare providers.
Other service providers and professionals (legal, accounting, medical, etc.) have obligations, duties and responsibilities to maintain a reasonably competent level of service.
Using "pretend intelligence" opens the door to liability and claims of negligence when (not if) things go wrong.
There was so much misinformation about that during COVID. “Do you have a cough or fever?” “You can’t ask me that! HIPAA!” “Sir, this is a Wendy’s.”
