Gizmodo - Democrats' New Bill Could Be the First Real US Privacy Law
A new bill in the Senate wants to finally make some rules about how companies spy on you.

A bill introduced Thursday in response to the reversal of Roe v. Wade would enshrine first-of-its kind protections for location data and health information. If it passes, it has the potential to be one of the most significant privacy laws in American history.

The bill, called the Upholding Protections for Health and Online Location Data (UPHOLD) Privacy Act was introduced by three Democratic senators, citing digital privacy concerns in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe. The proposed law would prohibit the use of personally identifiable health information for targeted ads—but far more significant is the bill’s proposal to ban the sale of location data by data brokers, companies that make their money by harvesting information about you and selling the insights.

The bill was introduced by Sens. Mazie Hirono, Amy Klobuchar, and Elizabeth Warren.

Detroit News - Whitmer, LGBTQ+ community targeted with death threats in new extremism case

FBI agents have uncovered new threats to kill Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, along with other Democratic politicians, law enforcement officers and those in the LGBTQ+ community, according to a criminal case unsealed Friday that marks the latest crackdown on violent antigovernment extremism in Michigan.

The allegations emerged in a case against Sebewaing resident Randall Robert Berka II that was unsealed in federal court one day after a grand jury indicted an Adrian-area man accused of posting threats on Twitter to kill Jewish politicians, including Attorney General Dana Nessel. The case was filed almost 2 1/2 years after FBI agents thwarted a plot to kidnap Whitmer that involved extremists hoping to spark a second Civil War.

The criminal complaint against Berka portrays him as a social media-savvy man whose mother bought him an arsenal of weapons even though he had been involuntarily committed for mental health treatment in 2012.

Investigators uncovered a series of posts on a YouTube account titled “kill all federal agents on sight and hang biden” since mid-February. The account, which FBI investigators say has been traced to Berka's home near Bay City, included threats to kill members of the LGBTQ+ community and Democrats, namely Whitmer.
