Roe. Is eve selling our data?!

After a leaked draft opinion from the Supreme Court indicated that the nation’s most menacing group of senior citizens are on the verge of overturning Roe v. Wade, Motherboard began reaching out to attorney generals and district attorneys across the country. Our questions were simple: How would states, especially those with so-called “trigger laws,” proceed with prosecuting abortion cases if Roe is overturned, and would they buy or subpoena data from people’s apps to help make those cases? The latter concern isn’t totally theoretical: Data brokers have been selling limited period tracking app data as well as the location data of people who visited abortion clinics.
