Host Molly Wood speaks to Alexander Howard, the director of the Digital Democracy Project at the nonprofit Demand Progress, about the need for transparency regarding the data being collected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

And, he adds, there should be discussions about how, and whether, the data will be used for other purposes.
