From a smart friend - RE: Abortion ruling and phone apps

[TlalocW]

Delete your period tracking apps immediately, and encourage every person with a uterus you know to do the same. Go back to paper calendars or maintain your own locally stored spreadsheet.

I’m not kidding. Metadata held by the companies that provide those apps is vulnerable to subpoena by law enforcement in states that now ban abortion. Even if you’re in a state where it’s legal, your support for these apps make them still available. They need to be non-viable business models.

Also note, no matter what they say about protecting your data or muddling it so it’s not readable, they will not and they do not.

1. If there are any companies less trustworthy than 23 and Me, it would be these . . . .

"Oh, we're very serious about protecting your personal information!"

Uh-huh.

[Best_man23]

2. Paper Only

Even a locally stored spreadsheet can be accessed. I just think back to the words a cybersecurity expert told me once about there being two types of computers: those that have been hacked, and those that can be hacked.

3. That's Actually A Thing?

OMG! You are 100% right.

Tracking menstrual schedules would definitely be the next step.

Horrifying.

[TlalocW]

5. I was shocked

But then he's in an actual relationship and has daughters so he would know more than I would in this case.

[leftieNanner]

8. I have two adult daughters

They both have IUDs, so they don't have periods, but I will alert them about this nonetheless.

Thanks for the info.

[Wednesdays]

25. If they're in a state where it's decreed "life begins at conception,"

then even people with IUDs are in danger!

[Oppaloopa]

33. And birth control pills

[Hekate]

35. When I had an IUD it gave me very heavy periods, but being 74 now, I'm not current on my info...

Anyhow, keep a paper calendar with little penciled-in X’s, that nobody else has access to if you just tuck it in your wallet.

[leftieNanner]

37. The newer IUDs are much better

I used to write "Marge" on my regular calendar. Nobody needed to know what that meant.

[wnylib]

28. Wouldn't it violate the 4th amendment

to track people's phones?

[RKP5637]

4. These companies lie left and right, anything for $$$$'s. Do not trust them to protect your data.

[Snarkoleptic]

6. Friendly reminder that "cloud storage" is just keeping your data on someone else's computer.

We must be cautious during this backslide into fascism.

[Wounded Bear]

7. Good advice! nt

[bdamomma]

9. Just write/

track on a calendar, isn't that what many women did before aps??

But here go privacy rights..........

[ShazzieB]

26. That's exactly what we did!

I went through menopause before there WERE apps! (Or smartphones to run them on.) Believe me, we managed!

[JCMach1]

10. Put Orbot on your phone and TOR on computer before they outlaw it

[Lonestarblue]

11. Also, immediately get a VPN so your searches cannot be tracked.

[SheltieLover]

12. K&R!

[Justice]

13. it goes further

You don't records or video you purchased pregnancy kits or went to the doctor (there is a law enforcement exception in HIPAA so doctors may disclose medical records to authorities)

If you decide to travel, you need to leave your phone, not use a transponder or your own car with GPS or credit cards. All of this information will be used against you.

[inthewind21]

14. An app is needed to track

a period? For the love of God, it's not like you have to remember every 28 days unless it rains on a sunday then change that to 22 days. But if is partly cloudy before noon on a Thursday allow 30 days. Now, if the temperature drops below 55 after June then go to 27 days. Unless it's 90+ in May then you adjust to 35 days!

[samnsara]

19. and dont forget the tides!

[chowder66]

15. Every woman should sign up and schedule a daily abortion.

Men should do it too.

[jaxexpat]

22. That's the best reply I've seen so far on the whole damn horrible thing.

Overload the overlords. They can't keep shit straight even when they try anyway. But let's keep this hush-hush, just in case.

Just so you know, I'm having 2 abortions on every even numbered day and 3 on the odd ones. My wife and I are in our early 70's so we'll switch out as required. Whatever that can possibly mean.

And BTW, if there's a need or call for violence, please confine it to those actively seeking martyrdom. It's more fair and certainly more efficient that way.

Can't believe I felt the need to add the sarcasm smilie, but I did.

[wnylib]

31. Menopausal women should go to abortion

websites to mess up their monitoring data.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

36. What does this mean? Sign up and schedule where?

[TeamProg]

16. K&R Thanks for posting. n/t

[SWBTATTReg]

17. Ah, the establishment of an underground railroad for these services. Why not?

I do agree w/ the elimination of any kind of tracking service, for I've always never trusted any kind of tracking service for ANY reason on my phones or apps for any reason what-so-ever (my natural aversion to 'big brother').

[littlemissmartypants]

21. This has been done. Search The Janes.

It was a 1970s-era women’s group called the Jane Collective. It was an underground service in Chicago that provided abortions. ❤

[Oppaloopa]

30. There is a movie about them on spectrum on demand called the Janes

[SWBTATTReg]

34. I will pull up and watch. Thanks!

[SWBTATTReg]

32. Thanks for the information. I learn something new every day, for which I'm grateful to you for.

[samnsara]

18. get a 12 month At A Glance wall calandar..

[calimary]

24. Or a datebook.

I live by mine!

[dalton99a]

20. Kick

[calimary]

23. FANTASTIC idea!

Keep that info to yourself! DO NOT go online!

They're gonna be snooping. It'll be open season on women trying to control their own bodies, lives, and destinies.

27. Attorney for daughters Sorority,

already recommended that all members remove these apps from their phone.

[Oppaloopa]

29. I am 72 I have a question. How many weeks do the abortion pills work at?
