French watchdog says Google Analytics poses data privacy risks

Google Analytics, the world's most widely used web analytics service developed by Alphabet's Google (GOOG), risks giving U.S. intelligence services access to French website users' data, France's watchdog CNIL said on Thursday.
In a decision targeting an unnamed French website manager, the data privacy regulator -- one of the most vocal and influential in Europe -- said the U.S. tech giant hadn't taken sufficient measures to guarantee data privacy rights under European Union regulation when data was transferred between Europe and the United States.
"These (measures) are not sufficient to exclude the accessibility of this data to U.S. intelligence services," the regulator said in a statement.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been tracking abortion trends for decades, but this year’s report — including some of the earliest federal data reflecting the effect of significant changes to abortion access nationwide – has been pushed back until spring amid turmoil at the federal agency.
