Accountable Tech
Googling abortion? Your details aren’t as private as you think, The Guardian
After the fall of Roe, Google released a policy update on the retention of location history data, which could potentially be used by prosecutors in states that have criminalized abortion.

I found Google still retains location data and search queries for reproductive care facilities, which could be used to prosecute abortion seekers in states with restrictions.
The American Labor Movement’s Next Frontier, Accountable Tech Staff Post
As the umbrella of “tech workers” broadens, so do their concerns, their responsibilities, and even their power. Within the context of tech accountability, this post takes a look at the evolving label of tech workers, how the pandemic is affecting existing workplace organizing, and the current state of the labor movement within the tech industry.
For my first Accountable Tech Staff Post, I spoke to Antonio Aguilera of Coworker.org about how tech workers — from warehouse fulfillment workers to software engineers — are building power to advocate for gender equity, pay transparency, and safe working conditions.
