## The brief

EFF reviews state efforts to protect location data and argues that gaps still leave people exposed to tracking and sensitive inferences. Its recommendations include broader limits on collection, enforceable privacy rights and safeguards against manipulative consent screens. The organization says protections should cover people's movements generally, rather than depend solely on whether they visit a designated sensitive place.
