People are getting very confused here. You can allow your anonymised data to be used for research. This is not new whatsoever and it's done by consent.
What IS new is that a company (GSK) are about to start using this data. Data that's publicly used already. This may help them to develop some new treatments.
No no, just repeat after me: "I can say I tOlD YoU So!" You don't want to be caught using anything resembling logic when it comes to pharmaceutical companies.
God no, only paranoia and doom allowed.
