On the recordJuly 21, 2022
just very briefly. Senator Wyden, I am really glad to be able to sponsor the My Bodies, My Data bill with you, because, as we know, any time any of us presses the button and uses our internet, somebody is collecting data, all of this data. And can you imagine there are all of these clinics that purportedly provide information relating to contraception and whatever else relating to reproductive care--these entities are also collecting all kinds of information. And they are not there to make sure that women--mainly women but individuals who access their services--they do not know that these are not institutions that will give them all of the information they need; but, instead, they are collecting a lot of information that can be weaponized. Thank you very much. This is yet another whole area of concern in this environment, in this climate, where individuals do not have control over our own bodies.
