Location data from Planned Parenthood and other clinics that offer abortion services has been made available for purchase by a data firm, an investigation from Motherboard found this week. The data being sold included where groups of people visiting clinics came from, where they went after, and how long they spent at the clinics.
Motherboard was able to purchase one of these datasets from SafeGraph, a data-sourcing company, for just $160. Less than two hundred bucks and the publication had its hands on Planned Parenthood visitor data for 600 clinic locations across the United States.
