New: another location data provider providing details on where people visiting abortion clinics live. With this one the data was *free* to access; site provided very easy to understand heat maps. Company only removed after Motherboard asked for comment vice.com/en/article/g5q

Yesterday we also saw heatmaps showing Planned Parenthood visitors’ home locations that in sparsely populated areas revealed single homes. Here (my redactions), the home location of a visitor is shown as a small blob, but the sat view shows one home in the center (my blur). 2/4

We also noticed that Placer’s “Visitor Journey - Routes” panel appeared to show the homes of Planned Parenthood visitors at the start of their trip to the clinic. Here (I blurred the homes), the route is highlighted and appears to originate at this last house on the street. 3/4
