Impact of COVID: More Personal Data in Government Hands.

How has data increased? White House has requested more data under the Stored Communications Act to track COVID

What regulatory/legislative issues are emerging?

• What limits are on the government on the backend to protect the data
• Can the government later sell the data?
• Can government compel companies to provide location data of their customers?

Is there funding involved? Yes, $500 million to the CDC for a coronavirus “surveillance and data collection system”
