Google pushes fake abortion clinic ads to lower-income women, report says

Using Google's personalized ad settings, the researchers gave the three accounts a different household income: average or lower income, moderately high, and high. Also in Phoenix, when the lower- or average-income account searched"abortion clinic near me," the very first ad on the search results page came from a so-called crisis pregnancy center, TTP said.Google tops the charts of orgs likely to watch your every move — or at least track websites you visit — according to Kaspersky's latest numbers.that trigger its security products' Do Not Track component, which prevents website trackers from loading.
"But when the moderately high-income and high-income accounts in Phoenix did the same search, they got their first ads from a Planned Parenthood clinic," the report authors wrote.
