Google, Facebook, and online pharmacies are providing data–including user chat logs and search history–to law enforcement to prosecute abortion seekers.

Online pharmacies have played a key role in making abortion pills accessible post-Roe to as many people as possible. However, some of those pharmacies are jeopardizing patients’ safety by sharing identifying information with Google and other third parties, which could then be turned over to law enforcement.

Google, over one year ago, promised to delete sensitive abortion data that could be used to prosecute those seeking reproductive health care. They have not kept that promise. Data shared by Google from law enforcement requests can include users' web addresses, location data in relation to visiting clinics, and search data.

Facebook continues to share sensitive information that is used in prosecution of reproductive health care seekers including user chat histories. This past summer, data turned over by Facebook became the key piece of evidence provided in a trial around abortion access.

Currently, there is little legal protection for people who use internet platforms such as Google or Facebook and who seek abortions. But businesses have a responsibility to safeguard the privacy and security of their users. Big Tech companies must take a stand against the use of personal data information to persecute those seeking or providing abortion access, including collecting and retaining that data.
