Protection for abortion Clinic Goers..! google Deletes Location History!

There has been a stir since google announced that it will delete the location information of users who visit abortion centers. The US supreme court recently canceled women's privacy rights to abortion. It is worth noting that women in the united states are protesting against this decision and the President of the united states, Joe Biden, strongly opposed this decision. In this situation, many companies have announced that if women in the united states want to go to other states or other countries to have an abortion, their travel service companies will accept them.
In this situation, google has announced that it will delete the location history of users who go to abortion centers. google has also announced that it will delete the location history of users who visit not only abortion centers but also domestic violence camps and other places where privacy is claimed. In a press release issued by google regarding this, it has been announced that this is a measure to value privacy and this system will come into effect in the coming weeks.
Also, Google's Senior Vice President Jen Fitzpatrick said that if someone visited an abortion clinic or a weight loss clinic, or a drug rehabilitation center in the google search engine, that information will be permanently deleted from the history. Reuters has raised a few questions to Google. How do you know if a user is going to an abortion center and will the information about the abortion center be completely erased? google is also expected to answer these questions soon.
Already after the abortion ban came into effect in the united states, many political leaders and women's advocates demanded that google search for a way to permanently remove the location information of abortion centers. Following this, google has taken the decision to delete location history.
It is noteworthy that many google users had requested to delete the history of their visits to abortion centers before the abortion law came into force in the united states and some of them wrote a letter to google CEO Sundar Pichai.
Now that the anti-abortion law has come into effect, google has announced that it will delete the location history of users visiting abortion clinics.
