Oy, Today I’m not feeling the best. Between that and the desire to be more concise, I will keep today on the shorter side. For today’s post, I’m going to try an idea I had at the beginning: prepping for another post. After my discussions last week on privacy, I noticed that one tangible example is the need to privately get an abortion. While that’s always been information that you’d want to respect people’s privacy about, Roe v Wade was just overturned. Hence, the ability to legally get an abortion is in question in many places in the US. I believe in women’s right to abortion. Many people believe in that right. Clearly, the ability to privately find resources and contact people is needed to have an abortion without worrying about getting arrested. This got me thinking, “how can someone connect with an abortion provider in a private way”? “What infrastructure is needed to make this easy to do”? I want to look into these questions.Break down problemsThe first step is breaking down the problems that need to be looked into:How do people usually find resources?Have people already built private solutions?What population (states, demographics) are most in need of privacy?How can these steps be tracked?What are ways to prevent tracking?What is an easy way to make it easy to do these steps?What would abortion providers need to do to make it more private?Is there anyone to contact about this?The first focus should be on being able to find and connect with resources. Of course, at some point, something physically needs to happen (e.g., go to a clinic, get shipped medicine). If I have time, further research can be spent on learning these steps and how to do them privately. There are also levels of privacy. Ideally, there’d be no way anyone can tell who someone is and that they’re trying to get an abortion. There’s no way to use the internet and be 100% sure you are anonymous all the time forever. The goal is to be very confident that your secrets will remain safe and you won’t go to jail. Finding a good way to break down privacy so the risks can be stated is vital in this pursuit. That’s all for tonight, Lucas
