Hey there --

Across the country, the fight to protect bodily autonomy is growing more urgent. Today, we’re proud to call on Google to stop collecting and retaining location data and aiding abortion prosecutors.

Help us pressure Google to stop its dangerous practice of collecting and retaining location data. Share our #HeyGoogle campaign on social media:

As right-wing state governments criminalize abortion and gender-affirming health care, Big Tech companies like Google are aiding abortion prosecutors. From search history to location tracking – including just a brief stop at an abortion clinic – Google collects and retains sensitive location data.

The lack of data privacy protections disproportionately hurts those most impacted by systemic and historical oppression – including Black people and people of color, working-class folks, and LGBTQ+ people. It’s unacceptable that Google promised to protect users in a post-Roe America, and they continue to fall short, endangering people seeking and assisting with care.

Google went back on its commitment to keep abortion-seekers safe. We cannot let Google off the hook for endangering our privacy and safety.

Thanks for taking action,

We see the irony of asking you to take action on the same platforms we’re fighting to hold accountable, but they are… well… dominant. We have to reach people where they are in order to level the playing field -- and we’re ready to bring the fight right to their own platforms.

Democracy depends on common truths. Social media giants are eroding our consensus reality and pushing democracy to the brink. Accountable Tech is fighting back by urging social media companies to serve the public good by strengthening the integrity of their platforms and our democracy. Make a donation to fund our work →
