Adriana Smith was declared brain dead at nine weeks pregnant, leading to Georgia's decision to keep her on life support until her baby was delivered. This controversial case highlights the enforcement of restrictive abortion laws, raising significant ethical questions about a woman's autonomy over her body. The overturning of Roe v. Wade has also led to heightened concerns regarding digital surveillance of women seeking abortions, such as in the case of Celeste Burgess, where social media communications resulted in criminal charges. This context empowers data brokers to exploit personal information for profit, exacerbating privacy issues.
In some states like Georgia, laws force women who are brain-dead to remain on life support to deliver their fetus, raising ethical concerns about bodily autonomy.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has not only sparked legal battles over abortion but has also opened the door for increased digital surveillance of women.
The case of Celeste Burgess illustrates how digital tracking, initiated through social media, can lead to severe legal repercussions for women seeking reproductive health services.
Data brokers take advantage of the post-Roe landscape by trading sensitive personal data, including health information, among various parties, highlighting privacy and security risks.
