> a range of healthcare services
Come on man, that's just muddying the water. The courts do care about intent, and Google's intent is clear in this case.
Also, that's like saying there is no such thing as a gun shop, just a retail business providing access to various kinds of gear.

But they are not peeking at what sort of healthcare the women are seeking. There's a clear distinction. "Without regard to the purpose of their visit" is going to pass muster pretty much anywhere.
- cato_the_elder 4y ago> Their intent is pretty clearly to protect the privacy of women seeking healthcare at facilities that do provide abortions And they just happen to think of that after the recent supreme court ruling?
- maxerickson 4y agoThat doesn't matter!
- cato_the_elder 4y agoIANAL, so I don't know about that, but one would hope that the judiciary isn't too dumb.
- maxerickson 4y agoThe fact that people are willing to conflate visits to those facilities with seeking abortion is itself a clear justification to discard all data about visits to those facilities!
- cato_the_elder 4y agoThere is no conflation on my part, it's just clearly evidence in that direction.
