Data Broker Is Selling Location Data of People Who Visit Abortion Clinics
It costs just over $160 to get a week's worth of data on where people
who visited Planned Parenthood came from, and where they went
afterwards.
A location data firm is selling information related to visits to
clinics that provide abortions including Planned Parenthood
facilities, showing where groups of people visiting the locations came
from, how long they stayed there, and where they then went afterwards, according to sets of the data purchased by Motherboard.
The data sale is obviously more important in the context of a leaked
Supreme Court draft opinion in which Justice Alito indicated that the
court is ready to repeal the decision in Roe v. Wade, the decades-old
precedent that has provided federal protections to those seeking an
abortion. If that draft does become a formal decision, it would
immediately fully or partly ban abortion rights in at least 13 states.
