Even the most private spaces and relationships are now ripe for surveillance, every detail about our bodies, health, and relationships amassed and sold. \u00a0We need to treat intimate privacy as a civil right \u2013 which requires comprehensive privacy legislation.<\/p>\n
Legislative perspectives:<\/strong> Citron had been working with lawmakers to strengthen protections. “Recent bills proposed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Sara Jacobs reflect these commitments. The Health and Location Data Protection Act<\/a>, introduced by Warren and cosponsored with Sens. Ron Wyden, Sheldon Whitehouse, Patty Murray, and Bernie Sanders, would ban data brokers from selling or transferring location or health data and require the FTC to promulgate rules to implement the law. It would empower the FTC, state attorneys general, and private individuals to sue to enforce provisions of the law and to seek injunctive relief to stop companies from selling intimate data. Jacobs\u2019 My Body, My Data Act<\/a> would minimize the extent to which companies could collect and retain reproductive health data, and prohibit such data from being disclosed or misused.”<\/p>\n Take action: <\/strong>Tell Congress to pass the My Body, My Data act! \u00a0EFF’s page makes it easy.<\/a><\/p>\n Brian Kahn and the Source Code team on Protocol (protocol.com)<\/p>\n We\u2019re about to find out how much users\u2019 data is worth to tech companies.<\/p>\n Joseph M Cox on vice.com<\/p>\n Motherboard asked Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, Google, Amazon, Discord, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Binance, Kraken, CashApp, Coinbase, Venmo, Uber and Lyft. if they\u2019ll provide law enforcement with user data related to abortions.
