Facebook and Google are handing over user data to help police prosecute abortion seekers

, which overturned nationwide abortion rights and allowed for bans in some states.

ProPublica found similar web trackers that capture user data on the sites of at least nine online pharmacies that offer abortion pills by mail, including Abortion Ease, BestAbortionPill.com, PrivacyPillRX, PillsOnlineRX, Secure Abortion Pills, AbortionRx, Generic Abortion Pills, Abortion Privacy, and Online Abortion Pill Rx.

"We comply with government requests for user information only where we have a good-faith belief that the law requires us to do so," a spokesperson for Meta told Insider."In addition, we assess whether a request is consistent with internationally recognized standards on human rights, including due process, privacy, free expression and the rule of law. When we do comply, we only produce information that is narrowly tailored to that request.

Goldman indicated examples where internet services affirmatively go to court to protect user interest,"but those are the exceptions."

AustinUXgirl I’m getting so damned tired of saying “I told you so.”

What the actual fuck?! This is disgusting!

Not hailing this development as good news, but the two cases in the article aren't 'abortion seekers.' One involved a teen 6 months pregnant and the other a woman at 36 weeks (almost full term). These are cases that certainly would have been investigated under Roe as well.

There is a unity at Facebook called Facebook’s Law Enforcement Response Team (LERT), an obscure unit within Facebook that handles law enforcement requests for Facebook and Instagram data.

That's more nazi than the nazis

The cops are asking for this info? Can't read all of the article but wth?

If only we saw that coming (hint: we did. We sure did.)

So Google which includes YouTube, and Facebook which includes Instagram and Whatsapp. Twitter is looking better and better.

MamaDoctorJones this is sickening. There are resources already available such as fully encrypted messenger apps that women can use to better protect themselves.

No way ... What a joke

BernieBroStar Whenever you need to keep your privacy, you should always: - utilize a VPN tunnel, there are some good alternatives to buy - use a striped down browser, like Firefox (in stealth mode) furthermore: - use TOR and - a write protected Linux boot stick to keep your privacy

That’s a scandal !

BernieBroStar “social media companies don't really have incentives to protect privacy.”

Google and Facebook I'm pissing you off!

But... But... Tik tok... China...

franglophonic Did y'all ask FB if they ever actually fought a request in court?

disgusting

Disgusting

Quand on sera au pouvoir avec la Nupes, nous poursuivrons en justice tous ceux qui cherchent 'réduction d'impôt' sur google

waiting for the trash talk about China and their internet...

So this is the country of 'freedom and democracy'? The leader of the free world? What a joke 🤦

United States becoming like Iran each passing day.

Gilead much, are we?

mikko One way to fight data to be searched is to overflow the data. One hour, once a week, everybody who is able searches information about abortion. So that those who actually need the help, will be able to do so anonymously. Call it as Freedom hour if you wish.

Strong-arm breeding ain't gonna get it... If people don't wanna have kids, for whatever reason, forcing them to have children to fulfill labor, military, consumerism, data and/or incarceration quotas is disgustingly parasitic. More lives will be lost than gained. I'm just sayin'.

StringwallApp Do they want women to take up arms against them? Yes.

But I thought big tech was “woke”?
