Gov. Mike DeWine to sign bill banning unwanted electronic tracking, prompted by 3News Investigates

Показать описание

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is set to sign the bill today.

Ohio is set to close a dangerous legal loophole that has allowed digital stalking to go unchecked, thanks to approved legislation that will ban unauthorized electronic tracking. The bill, which passed the final hurdles in the Ohio Senate on Wednesday, now awaits Gov. Mike DeWine's signature.

The legislation stems from a two-year effort by 3News Investigates that revealed how easily stalkers could track victims using small, inexpensive devices like Apple AirTags, and exposed loopholes in Ohio's stalking laws that allowed stalkers to track unsuspecting victims, undeterred.

This is a GREAT first step!
We are being tracked professionally by our cars, too, so we need to create legal precedent.
The problem with your driving data going to a data seller and then the insurance companies is that you've lost privacy (what is someone wants to grab your kid?) ... and auto insurance companies are NOW raising rates based on bs AI... check the lawsuits.

So when someone steals your stuff, they can sue you for tracking them without their consent?
