In a world where data is carelessly collected and insecurely stored, it won't just be prosecutors using it to obstruct access to abortion or gender affirming care. It will be organised online harassment campaigns as well, using ML to comb through combinations of legally and illegally obtained data - years and years worth - to build an instant dossier on anyone they deem a target, and highlight aspects of their personal life that they had never intended to come to light, or even thought would one day be angering enough to justify widespread harassment. The article used Google Ads as an example. Let's say, god forbid, Google Ads suffers a breach, and it turns out they didn't anonymise the data used to build personalised ads at all. Any one of these organised harassment campaigns can pick out targets of their ire simply by what was recommended to them in ads.
