Singer Olivia Rodgrigo is the latest high profile star to speak out about the recent Supreme Court leak on overturning abortion rights.
The singer became emotional during the Washington D.C. stop of her SOUR tour as she stopped singing to address her screaming fans, who grew silent to hear her speak. “Our bodies should never be in the hands of politicians,” she said to a raucous reaction from the crowd, and then continued: “I hope we can raise our voices to protect our right to have a safe abortion, which is a right that so many people before us have worked so hard to get.” Her fans cheered and she nodded to her band and continued the concert.

The treasure troves of data tech companies have spent decades accumulating could put them right in the middle of efforts to prosecute people if the Supreme Court eliminates federal guarantees of abortion rights. Why it matters: If Monday's leaked draft opinion becomes law, court orders could soon arrive at tech firm offices seeking info about individuals searching for emergency contraception, those seen near a suspected abortion clinic and more. The big picture: Mass data collection and the potential for a surveillance state has been a growing, if largely abstract concern. But the seemingly imminent end to guaranteed legal access to abortion spotlights a specific risk such data can pose right now. Tech companies generally say they will protect user data but comply with data demands required by local laws in countries where they operate. What they're saying: While tech companies were loath to talk on the record about how they might address such legal requests in post-Roe v. Wade abortion cases, lawyers and other executives at several companies are definitely having these discussions. And privately, many tech employees said they were glad the topic was finally being discussed. Between the lines: Law enforcement and prosecutors have multiple ways to get many different kinds of data, including location data, search requests and purchase history. Bulk vs. individual: Law enforcement requests could come in the form of seeking data for a specific person or seeking, say, all people who were near a particular clinic, or maybe all out-of-state residents near a particular clinic. Tech companies have a track record of fighting bulk collection efforts more forcefully, for example, than do cellular providers, says Jennifer Granick, the ACLU's surveillance and cybersecurity counsel. Lawful order vs. buying data: Right now there are no rules requiring law enforcement to obtain a court order for data they can purchase, and there's a lot of very personal information being sold by data brokers. A bill called the Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act has been introduced in Congress to bar this practice. For now, though, plenty of data is on the market, including some specifically related to abortion. Medical data: In addition to non-medical information such as location, shopping and search data, medical records themselves could be targeted. And those records are far more digitized than they were in the pre-Roe era.
