The Federal Trade Commission says it will step up to protect the privacy of consumers in a post-Roe America, declaring the agency is committed to fully enforcing the law against the illegal sharing of sensitive medical and location data.
Kristin Cohen, the FTC’s acting associate director in the Division of Privacy and Identity Protection, says the commission took particular aim at data brokers and third parties who share previously collected information.
Cohen says the extent to which highly personal information that people choose not to disclose even to family, friends, or colleagues is actually shared with complete strangers.
Cohen added that the Commission is committed to using the full scope of its legal authorities to protect consumers’ privacy.
