News that data brokers continue to sell personal data about pregnant people are concerning.
One such data broker offers names, emails and mailing addresses of more than 23,000 expecting parents.
Here's why we're worried 🧵

We were out in central London today documenting the Metropolitan Police’s trial of Live Facial Recognition Technology (LFRT).

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that.
As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵
