Meanwhile, this:
> “If Google is allowed or required to turn over information in this Colorado case, there is nothing to stop a court in a state that has outlawed abortion to also require Google to turn over information on that kind of keyword search.”
seems like it's of entirely different magnitude, far less amenable to such a narrow scope.
Why?
If the police finds a burnt house, and check who googled for an address... how is that different to them finding an illegal abortion clinic, and checkng who googled for that address?
I don't think that sentence refers to illegal abortion clinics; I think they're referring to state laws that attempt to punish out-of-state abortions (https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2022-05-1...).
That said, a clinic is more like a house that burns down several times daily, which dramatically expands the scope of any such warrant.
