Workers sent the petition Wednesday to Google-parent Alphabet's top executives, including CEO Sundar Pichai. Most of the workers belong to the Alphabet Workers' Union, according to Bambi Okugawa, a spokesperson for the group. Concerns over the role of technology in such prosecutions have ratcheted up in recent days, especially after it was revealed that Facebook had handed over private messages between a young woman and her mother in Nebraska to local law enforcement agencies that were investigating the death of a fetus.The employees also want Google to remove fake abortion providers from search results and cut ties with publishers of unreliable healthcare information.

Dystopian

Can npr even 'kind of' pretend to be unbiased anymore? Might as well be OAN for the left these days. It's sad.

What law in what state calls for the criminal prosecution of women who have gotten an abortion? Can you answer that ?

Fear mongering… information seeking is not a crime in this instance

is 650 employees a lot for Google?

So much virtue signaling.

But no worries about our other search data. My lord people just keep getting crazier by the hour.

Awesome 👏🏾!

the holocaust continues

Lucky for law enforcement the ISP has the same information. 😏

It sucks Google, does it. Google supported the woke and bend over backwards to get their approval. Now you finally realized how wrong you were. Now you want to act like a corp and not be told what to do. It all came back to bite you in the ass. Oh yeah thank you for Biden. waaaah google we need more dead babies.... Who are you people? Who raised you? Who made you so miserable and unhappy? If you don't want to get pregnant or have children, we know what prevents that. It's called birth control pills, which are available to men now, condoms in a pinch. No, abortion necessary.
