Why? Most of this stuff is personal information from their users and abortion is not (yet) illegal in most states. By this logic no user data can ever be delet

  >Most of this stuff is personal information from their users and abortion is not (yet) illegal in most states. That's cold comfort when the AG of those minority states decide to prosecute the company or their executives. >By this logic no user data can ever be deleted, just in case it becomes relevant to enforcing a future law. But it's illegal in 13 states right now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_law

    "But it's illegal in 13 states right now." You have to define what is actually illegal and how the data would be used. Most of the laws are about performing an abortion in the state. I'm not up to date on everything, but generally state jurisdiction ends at the state line. For example, someone in CA can look up high capacity magazines and buy them in another state without ever bringing them back into CA. They can't prosecute you for touching a 30rd mag in a different state.

    > But it's illegal in 13 states right now. Fair enough, but this data should be getting deleted for users in the other 37 states right now.

    prosecute the company or their executives Executives can move to a non-extradition state, Boston and MA have already stated they won't cooperate with extradition requests in relation to abortion prosecutions. You might also want to consider the long term cost of being parties to a human rights violation under color of law, vs the short-term cost of not doing that.
