Thanks for sharing this important summary the risks to privacy the Dobbs Supreme Court ruling presents
(1/11) I've been asked several times recently for my perspective on the issue of data privacy in the context of the overturning of Roe v Wade. Summarizing into a short 🧵 with some context and resources.

I discussed US political risk with CNBC last week and highlighted that “the DeSantis-Disney dispute…and..battle over abortion, signify a problem that’s more common in emerging markets: the risk of retribution from an unstable government.” https://t.co/zJhBFM9zra

Beyond the moral debate over state abortion bans or restrictions, critics say there is an economic argument against them amid a short supply of workers.

Thanks @g_tudor for reminding us what is at stake
In a recent @TheAtlantic op-ed, LNP member @g_tudor reflects on the similarities btw. Watergate & Jan. 6th, making the case for why the US public must remember more than just what happened on that date to prevent history from repeating itself. https://t.co/vO1w8PTl6M

Read my latest in @FastCompany with @davidgclunie & @rhettbuttle. Building a strong democracy is a positive agenda — but also an immediate risk factor business leaders need to understand and address https://t.co/t1pTQtFklh

This @nolabels video is deeply misleading and should be taken down.
Despite an early attempt at bipartisanship, the January 6 Committee’s work has become a partisan exercise about which the public is skeptical. To see more content like this and learn more: https://t.co/gJ5F11gR4W

Thanks for your leadership @RepDeanPhillips. Investigating Jan 6th is one of the most important nonpartisan agendas for Congress and what a needless attack on the legitimacy of the Commission. @LeadershipNP
What an ignorant and despicable message. Investigating an insurrection inspired and enabled by a defeated president and vice-chaired by one of the nation’s most prominent, conservative Republicans is principled - not partisan.

I think ever member of @NoLabelsOrg and the @ProbSolveCaucus ought to say whether they agree that the insurrection was no biggie, like @NoLabelsOrg thinks. RT with your favorite @NoLabelsOrg member!

Thank you, @LeadershipNP, for your very kind recognition. I appreciate the hard work @dballouaares and your great team are doing to strengthen our democracy.
We were honored to present former Philadelphia City Election Commissioner @Commish_Schmidt with the 2022 Leadership Now Award. In the face of intense pressure, misinformation, and threats, his commitment to election integrity never wavered. He's a true champion of our #democracy.

The trend toward retaliation against companies is a disturbing trend — it’s a tactic deployed often in autocracies not democracies. And it threatens free speech. @LeadershipNP

The right’s about-face on free speech accelerates.
