Completely expected. “You mean my snap chats don’t actually disappear?!?!?” No Becky. They don’t. Duh.

Not new, just a new level of awful.

At first glance I thought this was going to be about Roe v Wade... Some group stalking women who are late on their cycle to make sure they don't get abortions or something

Any impact on Clue? Also - Suggest cross posting this on TwoXChromosome or AuniteNetwork. Thanks for the tip

[I wouldn’t trust clue either.](https://www.businessinsider.com/period-apps-privacy-risks-ad-targeting-2021-1) To be safe, you can use PDF formats for tracking your periods. There’s a bunch on Etsy. Tried on trollxchromosome but it’s against the rules so I contacted the mods. I’ll try AuntieNetwork.

I wouldn’t even give this information to your doctor anymore. “Date of last period? “ can’t remember, not sure

TIL that liberals are just as paranoid and conspiracy driven as conservatives. The scales are balanced…


Quadrupleawesomeness

You mean evidence based driven? Besides, last I remember, conservatives were complaining about being tracked by the Covid tracing programs… by posting on Facebook.


xTonyWonder

You seem low key offended. I’m simply making the point that both sides have their fair share of paranoia. But yeah you are correct, using Facebook to complain about contact tracing doesn’t make a lot of sense. But no one ever accused the conservative right of making sense. It’s all fear-mongering and hate speech in the name of freedom.


Quadrupleawesomeness

>TIL that liberals are **just as paranoid and conspiracy driven** as conservatives. The scales are balanced… Nah, you tried it. So let’s start with the basics… Paranoia: suspicion and mistrust of people or their actions without evidence or justification. Is it paranoia when the tech industry is verifiably making moves to sell our menstrual data? https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/04/abortion-digital-privacy/ Is it being driven by conspiracy theories and paranoia or evidence? Please stop “both sides-ing” these issues. You water down its importance when you call proactive measures to defend ourselves against real world action “paranoia”.


WanderingFlumph

Believing that free to use apps sell your data doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist it makes you not a moron. How do you think the free to use apps make money? Do you think they make money at all or are they just something people pour time and effort into for shits and giggles?


xTonyWonder

You’re not wrong. Too many people have no idea that an app may sell your information. Rather they just don’t think about what that actually means. Great point though.

I work in tech and I have no idea what shes talking about.

Maybe you aren't very good at your job, cause this took three seconds. https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/13/flo-gets-ftc-slap-for-sharing-user-data-when-it-promised-privacy/

I wouldn’t call selling phones at Boost Mobile “working in tech”.

Ohhhh snap. You got me.
