Google to delete location history of visits to abortion clinics

13 Sept 12:27 Key points summarised by AI

Google will automatically delete location data for visits to sensitive places, including abortion clinics, to enhance user privacy.
This measure addresses concerns that digital trails could be used by law enforcement following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on abortion rights.
The policy change will take effect in the coming weeks for users who have location history enabled, as it is off by default.
Google also updated its advertising policy to designate U.S. advertisers providing abortions, even if they dispense pills by mail after virtual consultations.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
