The patchwork of state rules is fertile ground for scammers looking to make money off desperate abortion patients who don’t know how to navigate them.
Price is also an issue. Rogue sites are selling Cytotec for roughly $4 per pill, a little under the typical cost per Drugs.com, a New Zealand firm that tracks prices. More than half of abortions in the United States are already induced by medication, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights. That share will likely rise following the Supreme Court’s decision, providing a huge market to exploit.
While scientists were still scrambling to understand the novel virus, these sites were promising cures. “We were drinking from a firehose,” said Burke. The European Union imposed its General Data Protection Regulation in 2018 in an attempt to protect web users’ privacy. But the regulation also made it harder to go after fraudulent sites. Domain registrars, which operate globally, stopped posting the identity of website owners in order to comply. Now, some domain registry services won’t give up information to regulators in the U.S. without a subpoena and won’t take down illegal sites without a court order, said Baney.
Locking a domain name prevents its owner from transferring it to a new registrar and continuing operations.
