ACLU urges New Mexico privacy law, cites Ticketmaster policy as example of risky data practices

Islena (Lena) Weber, director of public policy for the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, told the committee that everyday online activity generates detailed profiles—location, health signals, browsing and inferred traits—and that these data flows are bought, sold and sometimes used for surveillance or discrimination. Using Ticketmaster as a case study, she walked legislators through a privacy policy and a cookie policy, demonstrating how tracking pixels, cookies and third‑party data brokers collect and resell sensitive information.
