Who is not required to follow HIPAA? HIPAA's primary focus is on covered entities and their business associates, which include healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses. Entities and individuals who don't handle PHI on behalf of covered entities typically aren't subject to HIPAA regulations.

Easy to obay something if you're not subject to it. Most of those tech companies aren't subject to HIPAA regulation.
