The Federal Trade Commission is warning that it will go after corporations that make false claims about how they are protecting personal data of consumers.
Days after President Joe Biden said he would do "everything in his power" to ensure abortion access, including protecting the privacy of individuals seeking reproductive health care services, a Federal Trade Commission official announced Monday that the agency is cracking down on the illegal sharing of sensitive medical and location data.
The FTC reaffirmed it will use its authority against illegal data sharing, the latest federal effort to ensure health data privacy, particularly sensitive information generated by consumer apps, after Roe vs. Wade struck down by Supreme Court.
