    I honestly don’t see how this data is any worse then regular location data. I don’t support abortion but it shouldn’t have repercussions in pro abortion states. Protesting something you disagree with should not be a crime unless you are becoming violent. Someone seeking an abortion can always just ignore someone begging them not to do it just like they can ignore a salesman in a mall.

    Guard you location data though. It and the rest of your data can be very dangerous in the wring hands.

      Everybody goes grocery shopping, only few get abortions, and only one of these groups is getting harassed for it.

      Violence has many facets. Harassment ist violence and it’s done by pro-lifers.

      This is crazy. The pro-life protests are not at all comparable to a vacuum salesman.

        No. I’m mostly with you. But not on this.

        The “Spectrum of Violence” might include everything from lies to murder. But that’s different than what you’re doing here.

        Insults, name calling, even threats, are not similar to getting physically beaten. Conflating them like this is either an insult, or at least disrespectful, to anyone who’s been hospitalized, crippled, or worse.

        Just no. Don’t do that. Be more nuanced.

          I’m way less concerned with what you label it than what it is. Violence, harm, abuse of private data to try controlling a minority, whatever you want to call it.
