Who is suing over locally collected scooter data? ACLU

Where is this happening? Los Angeles

What data is in dispute? Data collected by  Mobility Data Specification (MDS), developed by LADOT and a private-sector consultant that collects trip data

Why is this important to businesses & government?

• need clear data privacy rules. Privacy advocates want privacy protections and anonymized data
• need to document policy decisions tied to data collection. The lawsuit concerns whether there is a policy connection derived from the data collection
