Dear reader of our blog, surely by now you know the format: as we approach the end of the year, we look back on our work, count our wins, learn from our misses, and lay the groundwork strategies for a better future. It’s been an intense year in the fight for reproductive rights and its intersections with digital civil liberties. Going after cops illegally sharing location data, fighting the data broker industry, and building coalitions with the broader movement for reproductive justice—we’ve stayed busy.
The Fight Against Warrantless Access to Real-Time Location Tracking
The location data market is an unregulated nightmare industry that poses an existential threat to everyone’s privacy, but especially those embroiled in the fight for reproductive rights. In a recent blog post, we wrote about the particular dangers posed by LocateX, a deeply troubling location tracking tool that allows users to see the precise whereabouts of individuals based on the locations of their smartphone devices. cops shouldn’t be able to buy their way around having to get a warrant for real-time location tracking of anyone they please, regardless of the context. In regressive states that ban abortion, however, the problems with LocateX illustrate just how severe the issue can be for such a large population of people.
Building Coalition Within Digital Civil Liberties and Reproductive Justice
Part of our work in this movement is recognizing our lane: providing digital security tips, promoting the rights to privacy and free expression, and making connections with community leaders to support and elevate their work. This year we hosted a livestream panel featuring various next-level thinkers and reproductive justice movement leaders. Make sure to watch it if you missed it! Recognizing and highlighting our shared struggles, interests, and avenues for liberation is exactly how movements are fought for and won.
