This investigation is being published at a really critical time. The Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs has put the sensitivity of location data on the radar of millions of Americans, just as lawmakers and regulators are poised to clamp down on data markets. Again, worth a read. — PolitiTweet.org

EFF says it's unclear Fog has data from Starbucks and Waze, but the AP seems to infer it. If true, it raises questions about the loosely regulated data market that led the information to end up in Fog's hands despite Waze and Starbucks saying they have no relationship to Fog. https://t.co/7Ej9EjF8WP — PolitiTweet.org
