Good day all. Google, or as it’s also known, Goolag, loves to rake in people’s information. They like to pretend that they strip out Personal Identifying Information, but no one believes them for a second. This makes it hilarious that Goolag employees have signed a petition that their data and search histories be protected.
This is all related to the Supreme Court reversing Roe v Wade and returning the decision making process on abortion to the states and the voters. Some states have all but banned abortion, others are fine with having your grandmother aborted. This post isn’t about abortion. It’s about the paranoid delusions of the special snowflakes working at Goolag. Here are the details from NPR. (NPR? Really? Yep, really)
About 650 Google workers have signed a petition asking the company to protect users’ abortion-related location data and search history.
Really? Why are they so concerned I wonder?
The move comes over concerns that law enforcement agencies will seek such data from Google to prosecute abortion seekers.
Are these idiots really that stupid? How silly of me. Of course they are, almost all of them are Progressives, and they’ve had the common sense gene edited out of their genome.
“If Google or Facebook or any tech company wants to present the face of being a compassionate company and an ally for people that need reproductive health care or gender affirming health care, then they need to back that up in their actions by protecting privacy,” said Okugawa, who works at a data center in Tennessee, where a law is going into effect this month that will outlaw abortion.
Ok, Tennessee has outlawed abortion. Other states haven’t, What’s the problem? There are these things called cars, buses and airplanes. Go to a state that still offers them.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, several states have passed anti-abortion laws that allow prosecutions or lawsuits against people who provide or assist in an abortion or help women cross state lines to obtain one.
I need to know what states have passed laws saying you can’t travel to a different state. To me, regardless of your stance on the subject, this appears to be unconstitutional. It would punish the free travel between the states. I have little doubt that any attempt to go after a woman who traveled out of state would fail and fail very quickly. As for the lawsuits? That can go both ways, and honestly, the courts have a ready made excuse to shut them down. It’s called “Standing.”
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.
I think there is something missing here. This is NPR and they are not known for being very accurate in their propaganda.
Ok, I found a source on the story. It looks like a number of laws were broken, not just whatever abortion law may or may not have been broken. Also, the police got a warrant, so Facebook had no choice but to comply. The Goolag workers might want to consider that if a similar situation happens, in that if a warrant is served, they will have no choice but to hand over the requested data. (Why the mother and daughter just didn’t take a trip to a different state for the procedure is another question)
The employees also want Google to remove fake abortion providers from search results and cut ties with publishers of unreliable healthcare information.
Ahh yes, these are followers of Senator Lie-a-watha Warren. I wrote about this previously, and what they call “Fake abortion providers” are actually centers that help expectant and new mothers. There aren’t all that many so called actual fake abortion clinics out there.
In July, Google said it automatically purges information about users who visit abortion clinics or other locations that could lead to legal problems.
Fine. Doesn’t bother me. If they don’t have the data, then they can legally demonstrate this if a warrant is presented. Requiring Goolag and other Big Tech sites to keep this data would be problematical. Of course, I don’t think they should be holding on to ANY data, but that’s just me. (And most of the people on Earth)
Each year, Google responds to thousands of subpoenas and search warrants by providing user location and search data to law enforcement investigators.
One of the issues with Goolag is that there are times when they refuse to provide data without a warrant and people are killed. Michelle Malkin’s cousin was, apparently, grabbed off a street in Seattle years ago and has not been seen since. The family tried to get tracking data from her phone, but Goolag refused to provide it. If they had, she may have been found.
Now, as to the Goolag employees demands? How about no? Why should you spoiled brats get special treatment just because you work for Goolag? You should be demanding that Goolag and all the other Big Tech companies that gather people’s information should also purge it, not just yours. Oh wait! That would kill Goolag’s business model now, wouldn’t it? How about you do what all of use have to do.
