Anonymous Coward User ID: 73426660 United States 07/02/2022 10:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Google announced Friday it would delete users’ location history when they visit abortion clinics, domestic violence shelters and other places where privacy is sought. Quoting: WTF ? 83787952 “If our systems identify that someone has visited one of these places, we will delete these entries from Location History soon after they visit,” Jen Fitzpatrick, a senior vice president at Google, wrote in a blog post. “This change will take effect in the coming weeks.” Other places from which Google will not store location data include fertility centers, addiction treatment facilities, and weight loss clinics. The announcement comes a week after the US Supreme Court made the tectonic decision to strip American women of constitutional rights to abortion, leading a dozen states to ban or severely restrict the procedure and prompting mass protests across the country. Activists and politicians have been calling on Google and other tech giants to limit the amount of information they collect to avoid it being used by law enforcement for abortion investigations and prosecutions. Fitzpatrick also sought to reassure users that the company takes data privacy seriously. “Google has a long track record of pushing back on overly broad demands from law enforcement, including objecting to some demands entirely,” she wrote. “We take into account the privacy and security expectations of people using our products, and we notify people when we comply with government demands.” Concerns over smartphone data and reproductive rights arose even before the Supreme Court ruling, when several conservative US states in recent months passed laws that give members of the public the right to sue doctors who perform abortions — or anyone who helps facilitate them.

Just as the prohibition on alcohol led do a unsafe black market. Same with weed. Just legalize it already. That’s the point. They are already “unsafe” to at least one party |

Prohibiting abortions will only lead to unsafe abortions. Just as the prohibition on alcohol led do a unsafe black market. Same with weed. Just legalize it already. All abortions are unsafe - they result in the death of a baby. The living being has Rights as well,even in a vulnerable state... Best abstain Or use birth control Not that difficult with free services offered for many... Tired of the extreme excuses for being lazy and quite selfish in preventing a child when one isn't into it,for financial reasons,or personal choices not supportive of children. Too many use it as BC Approximately 63 million murdered,'aborted", surgically sliced and diced as even young 'fetuses' try and avoid being killed in the womb Nerve transmission and FEELING develop early in the growing baby. Rare I stances where ectopic pregnancy which IS NOT VIABLE. Wod still be available ..in most states. Incestuous/tape situations can be investigated, and hopefully catch some scum preventing further injuries they'll commit... And for the record,every abortion,D&C causes some scarring on uterine wall After 1st abortion,harder to become pregnant,less fertility presents... Each successive abortion more scarring,even less percentage getting pregnant Some sterilized by their own hand.... After4-5,very unlikely I have met many women in my hospital work through the years that disclose to their health tecord4-5 abortions. Clearly most are not that stupid ...or lax about BC But far too many are And tragically few if any,understood the scarring,esp., with successive abortions,and real threat of premature sterility Like experimental slurries...infertility is hitting many post stab |
