Roe vs. Wade repeal is a story that has dominated world news and cybersecurity news alike — and it will remain relevant for years to come. The US Supreme Court has overturned the landmark decision. In addition to affecting freedoms and protections in the real world, this decision will also influence the digital one.

In addition to affecting freedoms and protections in the real world, this decision will also influence the digital one.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has argued: “Today's decision deprives millions of people of a fundamental right, and also underscores the importance of fair and meaningful protections for data privacy.”
In this video, we review the news and opinions about how the Court’s decision may infringe on digital rights. EFF stresses that if you’re now seeking or offering an abortion, you must assume that any data you provide in the process may be sought by law enforcement.
It suggests you use encrypted messaging, carefully review privacy settings on your apps, and turn off location tracking for apps that don’t require it. The Wall Street Journal reports that period trackers and fertility apps are working on ways to anonymize user data.
Data held by these services could be used against people in states where abortion may be criminalized. However, deleting period-tracking and fertility apps won’t protect your data in most cases.
The Washington Post reports that since tech giants have amassed private data on billions of people, authorities around the world have been increasingly targeting it.
Now, this data can be used to find and prosecute people getting or abetting abortions. “We live our lives online, we leave digital breadcrumbs of our prior activities, and of course those are going to be caught up in abortion investigations,” said Catherine Crump, a law professor at UC-Berkeley’s law school.
While tech giants are keeping silent, their employees are internally agitating to take measures to protect users.
