'It is so chilling. It is so broad. It is so contrary to our civil rights. And yet, because Google has so much of our data, it's just a ticking time bomb for pregnant people.'
"Google is increasingly the cornerstone of American policing," said Albert Fox Cahn, a lawyer who is also executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, an advocacy group.
"It is so chilling. It is so broad. It is so contrary to our civil rights. And yet, because Google has so much of our data, it's just a ticking time bomb for pregnant people," Cahn said of keyword searches. "This is the equivalent of going to a library and then trying to search every person who checked out a specific book," he added."We would never allow that in the analog world."
Jennifer Lynch, a lawyer with the group, said such searches run the risk of implicating innocent people.
