Massachusetts: Tell your Lawmakers to Pass the Location Shield Act

Where we go says a lot about who we are. That's why EFF supports the Massachusetts Location Shield Act (H.357/S.148), filed by Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian and Sen. Cynthia Creem. This bill would prohibit companies from engaging in the predatory practice of selling, leasing, or trading location data, while still allowing companies to collect and process this data for legitimate purposes with user consent.
