This could be seen as a life-endangering move, and the data company should be held reliable, not just for this act, but also for any problems their victims have to endure.
They sold the data fully understanding what it could be used for. I imagine the deal brokered was by a MAGA supporter who works with this data company.
People like that belong behind bars. They are a danger to humans.
Holy crap that's dark. Now I have even less sympathy for the companies losing revenue from chrome removing third party cookies
Now, people needing an abortion also need a burner paid for winth cash. Fantastic.
This is exactly why we need privacy laws.
I’m male, and my voice is pretty unmistakeable so I can’t very well man the hotlines for agencies helping women find ways to get out of shitty states and have abortions.
I’d happily run all over the tri-state acquiring burners by the bunch though, for this exact use case.
Sounds like a plan. I'll remember this. Thanks.
And a fake name, and fake everything else as well.
Totally. It's grim.
thanks for reminding me why I use an ad blocker (and why I hate pro-life fuckers)

There's a fucking surprise. Pond scum.
I'm not even surprised any more. I take a bold guess at what absolutely hideous shit I'll read today and I'm still always surprised.

OMG! He's a broken javascript. AI has gone too far!
Surely they're just interested in advertising products popular with newly aborting mothers. /S
This shit happened in 2022 too. Nothing has changed. There needs to be more outcry.

Seems lawsuits are how we motivate policy. Gotta sue companies into the ground, for policy or law change.
Not only that, but hackers stole every single last bit of patient data from hospitals all over Ontario in Canada as well. I daresay, if you've had an abortion, you exist on some right wing assholes list somewhere.
