Tech companies are constantly tracking and selling your data to third parties, often without explicit consent from users. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry that isn’t regulated on a federal level, although the European Union and some U.S. states have implemented their own privacy laws.
Privacy advocates and supporters of the pro-choice movement have raised the alarm about how personal data could be used by law enforcement and anti-abortion activists if Roe vs. Wade is overturned by a Supreme Court decision this summer.
Alejandra Caraballo is a clinical instructor at the Harvard Cyberlaw Clinic. From applications that track menstrual cycles to location data on visits to Planned Parenthood clinics, she argues there’s great potential for personal data to be used in criminal investigations:

Personally, I think there should be State and/or Federal laws prohibiting the sale and sharing of sensitive personal information. Just because I do business with Company A does NOT mean I want [login to see] 43 unwanted ads from Company B nor conduct business with them.

There are already women and organizations working out ways to still get women healthcare without leaving digital footprints.

So if you're "pro life" you're against the death penalty right? Also, you're for social programs that help the poor, help children and infants? You're also not someone complaining about babies in immigration detention centers getting formula, right? Just curious how "pro life" you really are. Or are you just pro fetus since an unborn fetus holds no expectations and they can't hold you accountable?
