Re: Sign if you agree: Tech companies shouldn’t give out abortion data

Friend, now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe, states have begun and will continue to enact laws criminalizing abortion. Criminalization creates the potential for law enforcement to use location and other personal data to prosecute those seeking care. [Sign the petition to Big Tech companies: Don’t give law enforcement abortion data!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( So far, some Big Tech companies have kept quiet on how they plan to moderate abortion content and handle requests, subpoenas, and warrants. Although some companies have pointed to their terms of service, they have not elaborated on how those terms will apply to abortion specifically. They have not agreed to stop collecting user location data that could identify those who visited abortion clinics and have not clarified how they'd respond to geofence warrants--requests for data from everyone who visited a specific location. If Big Tech truly stands for the right to choose and abortion access, then they cannot provide law enforcement with personal information that could lead to prosecution.

Below is an email we sent out earlier urging Big Tech not to provide law enforcement with abortion data: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, America's biggest tech companies, including Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, and Snapchat, are refusing to clarify whether they would provide law enforcement with data related to investigations involving those that seek or provide abortions. [Sign the petition to Big Tech companies: Don’t give law enforcement abortion data!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( With the overturning of Roe v Wade, 26 states are certain or likely to ban abortion. That creates a new problem: law enforcement can arm themselves with massive amounts of data to criminally prosecute those seeking or providing abortion. Although lawmakers have made an effort to ban the sale of location and health data outside of some limited circumstances, it doesn't affect law enforcement's access to that data. Companies can make technical decisions about what data they make available to law enforcement depending on their capabilities. They must take a stand against the use of personal data information to persecute those seeking or providing abortion access.
