Google to delete user location history on US abortion clinic visits

Google announced Friday it would delete users’ location history when they visit abortion clinics, domestic violence shelters and other places where privacy is sought.

“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.

Good.

The choice to have a baby or not is up to the carrier.

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.

Coming soon... Google will delete all location data from anyone approaching a vote dropbox....

So they are admitting that their cell phone data can be used to track people.

I guess 2000 Mules is right.

Prohibition is not the same thing as abortion dumbass. You might be in denial but that’s a living creature growing inside, as such Murder is never a solution.

If it was, then let’s do All Ages abortions and get rid of all unwanted people like you.

So they are admitting that their cell phone data can be used to track people.

SHOTS FIRED!!!

Nice one. The truth always comes out...

So they are admitting that their cell phone data can be used to track people.

I guess 2000 Mules is right.

Just Got word, DA's in certain states will be prosecuting those having abortions and doctors performing abortions for premeditated murder

Google is of course controlled by the People of Color.





And the do a LOT of abortions.

Indians (Brown), Chinese (Yellow), Africans (Black)....including female gender-biased abortions and infanticide.
