Since a bunch of people are now going to ask me why "delete your period tracking app" is bad advice, I leave you this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/should-you-really-delete-your-period-tracking-app

Should You Really Delete Your Period Tracking App?

Since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision depriving people of the right to abortion leaked last month, some have advised deleting period tracking apps to prevent that data from being used to target people seeking abortion care. But it’s useful to distinguish between the security and privacy threats that abortion seekers are actively experiencing now versus threats that may come in the future.

Additionally, if you are a person who does not have periods to keep track of and you want to tell me why telling people to delete their period apps is good, actually, I suggest that maybe this is not a situation that calls for your opinion.

@evacide Same goes for all the non-disabled white men, who have no issues getting believed by doctors, who demand that everyone stop using health monitoring devices.

Take a seat, Linus, some of us are more concerned about having evidence that we have a life-threatening condition than our digital footprint.
