In this session, we’ll examine the criminalization of reproductive freedoms through digital surveillance of pregnant people today and in a post-Roe America. What digital technologies are already used to track and criminalize abortion seekers, providers, and advocates? How will surveillance escalate without the constitutional right to abortion?
We will also discuss paths forward to reduce the harm of Roe's potential overruling and digital strategies for pregnant people, providers, and advocates to stay safe on the internet.
