"Bonta is the author of A.B. 793, which - if passed - would ban so-called 'reverse warrants'. These can be used by law enforcement to force tech companies into divulging consumer data related to reproductive care if a crime is suspected.

The law would restrict both 'geofence warrants' and 'keyword warrants' under which tech companies must share the information of users who, for example, quizzed a search engine about ‘abortion' or ‘abortion clinic', or were close to a specific location at a specific time.

'We are living in a world where the regulatory framework has not caught up with the technology,' Bonta said.

The law passed the California Assembly by one vote this month and is now being considered by the state senate."
