As early as this week, President Joe Biden plans to ask the Federal Trade Commission to protect consumer data privacy following the Supreme Court\u2019s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade<\/em>, according to a new report from Axios<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s request is expected to come by way of a letter to the FTC, asking the agency to protect the privacy of women and birthing parents online. Specifically, Axios <\/em>reported that Biden \u201cwill say the FTC should not tolerate unfair or deceptive practices related to reporting, surveillance, sharing or sale of personal information \u2014 including sensitive health-related information \u2014 in any state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soon after the Supreme Court released its ruling last week, privacy advocates and lawmakers warned that data obtained from period-tracking apps and other online services<\/a> could put abortion-seeking Americans at risk. Online platforms collect expansive amounts of personal information from users, often including sensitive health information and location data. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) introduced a bill \u2014 the Health and Location Protection Act \u2014 that would impose a sweeping ban on the sale of these types of information, prepping for the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n
