| | | | | | Dear Mozilla Supporter,
I’m still stunned and raging about the U.S. Supreme Court decision that eliminated a fundamental right for Americans. And the basis of the decision is deeply troubling: the majority of Supreme Court justices ruled that the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee a ‘right to privacy’. Ironically, experts are pointing out that, unlike when abortion was illegal in the U.S. 50 years ago, we now live in an unprecedented era of digital surveillance and this tracking will profoundly impact what happens next.
So yes, I’m angry. And I absolutely won’t be sitting idly by while this happens. I’m going to do something to protect the privacy of people who can get pregnant in the U.S. today. And I hope you will join me.
As the Lead of Mozilla’s *Privacy Not Included buyer’s guide, I’m working right now to research and review the privacy and security of period tracking, fertility, and pregnancy apps. Our goal is to help those who use these apps know which ones will protect their privacy and which could share or leak data that could lead to their arrest or harassment in states where reproductive rights are rapidly being rolled back. We began our research last month and our goal is to publish the guide ASAP.
Will you donate to support our *Privacy Not Included Reproductive Health App guide now? Our goal is to get this comprehensive guide to as many people in the U.S. as possible. People don’t understand how many - and which - internet-connected devices track reproductive health. Unfortunately, the problem is far more complex than just uninstalling our period tracking apps. People need this detailed information so they can protect themselves.
Please donate to support this work and all the work we do here at Mozilla to protect privacy online. Our right to privacy is more important than ever before -- and that privacy is under constant attack by companies scooping up data and using it to make billions. Please, give. If you are angry, raging, frightened, sad, and scared, like I am, like so many of my colleagues are, please consider a donation to help us publish our *Privacy Not Included: Reproductive Health Apps guide right away.
We will never stop working to protect your privacy online. And today, that is more important than ever.
Thank you,
Jen Caltrider
Lead, *Privacy Not Included
