Episode 35 - My Body, My Data w/ U.S. Congresswoman Sara Jacobs
What happens when your most personal data—like period tracking, location, or search history—is no longer private? In this eye-opening conversation, U.S. Congresswoman Sara Jacobs breaks down her proposed legislation, the My Body, My Data Act, and why it matters for everyone in the digital age.
We dive into:
-How your health data is bought, sold, and shared—without your clear consent
-How tech companies and third parties sidestep the spirit of the Fourth Amendment
-Why Congress needs to act before data becomes a tool for surveillance
-What you can do to protect your period/reproductive health information in the meantime
If you’ve ever used a health app (especially a period tracker app), searched a symptom, or relied on digital tools to manage your well-being—this conversation is for you.
