Period tracking app refuses to disclose data to American authorities (www.newsweek.com)

The team behind menstrual health and period tracking app Clue has said it will not disclose users' data to American authorities, following Donald Trump's reelection.

The message comes in response to concerns that during Trump's second presidency, abortion bans that followed the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022 will worsen and states will attempt to increase menstrual surveillance in order to further restrict access to terminations.

Great point. Then they can take the hard stance but I doubt they will not to piss off largest consumer market in the world.

They've already taken the hard stance. If they roll it back, they will lose the trust of their users.

I'd still echo the (current) top comment's advice to use something open source, local, and encrypted.
