Your Internet history & your phone history could be used against you.
"Large carve-outs and exceptions” give law enforcement wide latitude to utilize “mass extraction tools,” she says, which will “inevitably expose everyone—not just pregnant people—to this sort of digital self-incrimination.”
As I've said time and time again it doesn't take much to get on the wrong side of your government or the law.

The teacher asked me what my opinion was. It was that while I don't think I'd want one, it's important for women to have access to reproductive healthcare and access to safe abortions.
Being in a small town we has anti abortionists push their propaganda heavily in primary to secondary school. Including someone's mum who was a class helper.
I've always noted the shock value that very privileged white women pushed on me with this agenda

When I was 13/14 years old we had religious Ed, which was in the process of moving towards more religions, philosophy etc. I remember looking at abortion as a topic for that class. as I'd studied Women at war during both the world wars. Including some of the backstreet abortions and damage to women from that process.

My opinion decades later has never wavered.
Reproductive rights are human rights.
You either believe in everyones human right to have control of their body or you don't.
The danger of mass surveillance and data collection threatens all our human rights, not just that of people who wish to have access to safe birth control or access to safe reproductive health options.

Yes I think this is useful thanks again. @TheGibson interesting thread.
We know that this legislation is the start of a massive erosion of people's rights.

We all need to understand that the right have understood the need to keep pushing their political agenda, including fielding candidates into legislatatures. They outlasted us and we have a long fight ahead of us to regain ground let alone push our politics out of the right.

@onepict @thegibson Here, in Spain, fascism in its alliance with the Catholic Church won the civil war (national-catholicism would be the term) in 1939. The following dictatorship ended in 1975. And although it seems we advanced in rights and social justice since then, *extreme* right-winged groups are back again in public political life.

Well it's been leaked for a reason, but this is is why every single election (including counties) are important. Because politicians all start somewhere. There's alot of money sloshing around the kind of people who have been pushing to overturn roe v Wade, and those who pushed to get the UK out of the EU as soon as it joined. There's alot of overlap in the funding and who gets on the right wing networks.
