"Uterus Surveillance and Uncertain Future: The Impact of Roe v Wade Overturned"

One year after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, concerns are growing over the amount of personal data collected by tech companies and how it can be used against women seeking reproductive choice. Cases have emerged of private Facebook chats being used by law enforcement to build criminal cases against women who had illegal abortions, and online pharmacies and fertility tracking apps sharing sensitive data with third parties. Governments are weaponizing personal data to target women's healthcare decisions. Legislation has been introduced to protect sexual health data, but its passage is uncertain. Some states have enacted laws to protect reproductive health data, while others have criminalized access to abortion-related websites. Privacy advocates are calling on Big Tech to implement stronger privacy measures, including end-to-end encryption and deleting sensitive location data.
