Anti-Choice Groups Use Smartphone Surveillance to Target ‘Abortion-Minded Women’ During Clinic Visits
Last year, an enterprising advertising executive based in Boston, Massachusetts, had an idea: Instead of using his sophisticated mobile surveillance techniques to figure out which consumers might be interested in buying shoes, cars, or any of the other products typically advertised online, what if he used the same technology to figure out which women were potentially contemplating abortion, and send them ads on behalf of anti-choice organizations?
Flynn’s targeting of women seeking abortion presents a serious threat to the privacy and safety of women exercising their right to choose, as well as to abortion providers and their staff, a Rewire investigation has found. But due to weak and patchwork laws governing privacy and data collection in the United States, the conduct appears to be perfectly legal.

Wow there are some truly sick, derabged and scary people out there . . I dont support this stuff for any reason but it makes it even more scary that its attempting to infringe on rights and working the grey areas of privacy and using total dishonesty and deception.
I really hope this isnt true and if it is i hope the loopholes and law is fixed VERY soon . . .whats the lie we always here from the nutter extremists about "shoved down our throats" LMAO oh the irony . . .when nutters say it, it simply isnt true but now they are doing it and its fine lol...what complete jokes these people are. They are getting worse and worse but at least that makes them easy to identify. They literally hate rights and freedoms. I hope they keep it up because all they are going to do is keep losing, getting their asses kicked and help strength freedom and rights!
Concerned about privacy? Turn off location sharing.

This is no different than any other form of geographically targeted ads and the anti-choice activists aren't receiving any of the womens' personal information.
It's not morally wrong to try to convince women not to abort.
BS, if you don't like abortion, don't have one. It is legal for those that do, and they should not have to face creepy zealot stalkers.

I saw this on Facebook, and what I don't understand is how would they know? How can they access your phone unless you give them the number? (I'm not very familiar with cell phones, I can make calls on mine but I can't figure out much more than that)
I think it may have to do with what is being googled on your cell phone.
I rarly use that app but since I post on this Forum and google a lot of abortion articles on my computer , they might very well put me on their list even though I already went trough menopause well over 20 years ago.
What is so bad with making the effort and trying to save the girls' souls? If it were the government, it would be another matter. But this is something that goes on all the time and we usually find helpful.

ETA:
I am always getting ads on my computer for things I googled even though I am not interested in buying that item.
When my daughter asked me to research and compare cruises for her honeymoon I got ads for cruises for the next year even though I was not interested.
I don't use my cell to google, heck the screen is so small, I can barely read it even with my glasses on!
I've been using my cell too much lately to make posts in DP. Everytime I do that, I often find out too late that what I posted is missing words or I've imposed other grammatical errors. I have a mini iPad that I like, and I also use it, but I have the same problem as I do when using the cell.
1.) thats not what this is about in anyway
2.) Nobody souls are "factually" in danger LMAO thats your opinion and a meaningless and hypocritical one at that.

You usually find helpful?
Ok, thank you for clarifying your stance about abortion is religious since you find this is an effort to save girl's souls.
You jump to unwarranted conclusions. Be that due to too quick reading or the attempt of false argument, that had nothing to do with my personal belief or disbelief.
Do not be afford to own what you said.
Then you do not understand the problem in a more general sense and see only your point of view. That would go a long way to explaining the shallow lines of argument you like to use.

Yes that would be YOUR issue LOL . . you have an OPINION and that's all it is and you want everybody to believe in your opinion and shallow argument. As usual your post completely fails, is dishonest, hypocritical and ignores facts.
Sure is... it is extremely rude as well...
1.)That is unusual because I find his post completely honest and thorough.
2.)IF Anti-Life groups can use technology to target women in having abortions, I see nothing wrong with pro-life groups in countering that effort with efforts to save lives.
