Reminder:
Due to GDPR, companies can not track when people have gone for abortions and sell said data.
Remember safegraph [1]? This is in their privacy policy[2].
> As of May 25, 2018, a new data privacy law known as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (or the "GDPR") went into effect through the EEA countries. SafeGraph does not offer products or services involving the collection or sale of “personal data” in EEA countries. We likewise seek not to collect such personal data from our data providers. Should any of the foregoing change, we will update this section of our Privacy Policy.
This, to me, is one of the greatest wins of GDPR.
