A new lawsuit in New Jersey is bringing attention to how commercial services now offer the ability to digitally track individuals’ daily movements, a power once reserved for nation states. Atlas Data Privacy Corp. is helping New Jersey law enforcement officers remove their personal information from data brokers’ clutches, invoking Daniel’s Law, passed after the death of Daniel Anderl. The lawsuit against Babel Street sheds light on how mobile location data can be exploited to track people, raising concerns about privacy and surveillance. The implications of this data availability range from harassment of public servants to potential threats to women’s reproductive rights.
