make laws where personal data and and will never be owned or used by companies for any other purpose than the service it is used for by the person who's data it is. If companies do no own your personal data you don't need to regulate ;-)

Do you think there should be a limit on what personal data companies can collect? Why or why not?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

How much privacy are you willing to sacrifice for convenience in your daily digital interactions?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Have you ever read a privacy policy in full before using a service? What influenced your decision?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Would you pay for a service you currently use for free if it meant your data wouldn't be collected?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

How do you decide which apps or services get to access your personal information?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Do you believe children and teenagers should have more stringent data privacy protections online? Why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

In a world that's constantly online, what does privacy mean to you personally?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

If you could change one thing about how companies handle your data, what would it be and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

How would you feel if your online searches today were made public tomorrow?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…8mos8MO

Can you share a time when an ad online felt eerily specific to you? How did it make you feel?

Missouri and Arizona Voters Will Vote On Abortion In November

Petitions to put abortion rights on the ballot in Missouri and Arizona were officially approved this week, adding to a growing list of states where reproductive rights will be before voters in November.Both ballot measures would amend their respective state's constitutions to enshrine the right to an abortion after the Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to abortion in 2022, prompting state-by-state action on the issue.In Missouri, supporters of abortion rights have been pushing to amend the state constitution to allow abortion in the state, where a near-total ban is currently in place. To qualify for the ballot, roughly 170,000 signatures from six out of eight congressional districts were required. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft certified that the petition had enough support to appear on the ballot. The ballot measure will present Missouri voters with an opportunity to amend the constitution to establish a right to "make and carry out decisions" about reproductive health care, including abortion and contraceptives, while removing the state's current abortion restrictions. It would allow abortion to be restricted or banned after fetal viability is reached with exceptions related to the health of the patient.On Monday, Arizona joined the list of states adding abortion to the ballot. The proposed constitutional amendment, if approved, would enshrine a right to an abortion in the state's constitution and would also prohibit punishment against anyone who assists a person in getting an abortion.The Arizona measure required 383,923 signatures. Organizers said in July that they submitted an unprecedented 823,685 signatures amid controversy surrounding the possibility of a near-total ban stemming from an 1864 law that only allowed exceptions to save the mother's life. Abortion is currently restricted in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
