The 'abortion clinic' category in Google Maps is intended for clinics that offer the procedure, but other organizations are still showing up.

In 2018, it was found that Google Maps delivered inaccurate results for people searching for abortion clinics in certain areas, often leading them to centers that don't offer abortions, and even to anti-abortion organizations, according to a February Gizmodo report. A new Vice report suggests that Google Maps still struggles with the differentiation, although it reports that Google Maps has gotten better since 2018.

Gonna go out in a limb and say this is a deceptive headline. Do you even know how PPC works? For enough money I could get people that search for “water” to go to a desert 🐫 in the Sahara.

So very hard for professions to be objective in a world where unintelligent or one-sided people are asking them to show partisanship, or be swayed into influences.

Great
