Tech reporter Sara Morrison wrote about this in her recent article “What police could find out about your illegal abortion.” Today, she joins Friday host Esty Dinur for a discussion about all the ways your smartphone is tracking you, the state of data privacy, and what we might expect to see in a post-Roe world.
