The danger is that by calling upon Google to solve these issues, we concede more and more power to them. Google is a tech company with about 140k employees, about 1/5 the population of San Francisco. Do we want this tiny minority of people to have such a huge influence on which laws get enforced (eg Google giving police data about people selling weed over Gmail) and which laws don't (eg Google deleting data about visits to abortion clinics).
Laws should be determined by lawmakers, not tech companies.
- madeofpalk 4y agoThe law against abortion still exists regardless of what Google does. There's no law that that says Google must collect data of who searches for abortion clinics (I presume/hope). It's not Google's responsibility to enforce or facilitate a law.
