In November, a study revealed how easily foreign governments could use companies known as data brokers to purchase personal information about U.S. military personnel. In some cases researchers paid less than a quarter per record for information that included home addresses, cell phone numbers and sensitive health data.
For many people who work at abortion providers or in the reproductive health space, the problem isn't foreign governments buying their information. It's fellow Americans who oppose abortion who want to target them, often to directly threaten them.
Threats of harm or death directed toward abortion providers increased 20 percent from 2021 to 2022, according to the most recent data gathered by the National Abortion Federation. Stalking incidents more than doubled, from 28 to 92.
