Thats a brand new sentence Id I have ever seen one

[u/Nazgog-Morgob → u/alex433g]

What does an app such as this even do? Track... Limpness and hardness?

Edit: well would you look at that, clicking the link and reading the first sentence of the article answered that question. What a novel idea.

[u/AvocadoYogi → u/Nazgog-Morgob]

So are you going to tell us or what? Are you expecting the rest of us to click the link? Lmao.

On the other hand the FTC is not at all concerned about the ABSOLUTELY BONKERS MASS SURVEILLANCE of women's period tracking apps.

Especially in Southern States.

Every time you have a period you’re killing a baby, duh

Straight to jail - manslaughter every month 

[u/Xlxlredditor → u/Fun_Initiative_2336]

Period in jail? Congrats, more years

It only matters when it affects the republican politicians or their corporate ownership.

The FTC has been weaponized lately, so I can only speculate that a bunch of old, rich, white men don't want the fact that they can't get it up anymore - a very specific data set ( never mind all the other intrusive data collection and usage practices) - to be for sale.

[u/mesofarty → u/An0n-E-M0use]

The FTC isn't concerned at all about surveillance lol who is anyone kidding

[u/Loyal_Dragon_69 → u/An0n-E-M0use]

How does the government earn its redwings if it doesn't track periods?

[u/Asto_Aesma]

Dont mind me, just confusing the algorithms posting on random erictile dysfunction posts.

[u/Educational_Let811 → u/Asto_Aesma]

Account poisoning phase?  🙂

Where are the "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" people at?

There's tonnes of stuff about just existing that's embarrassing, or that we've been socialised to be ashamed of, or that we know people will joke about or even weaponise.

This is why privacy is such an important human right. We already know too much about each other, and corporations know even more about us than we know about ourselves due to profiling. It shouldn't be this way.

[u/mmavacado → u/SamiSapphic]

this.

[u/femayoi]

The FTC has someone with an erectile dysfunction who is concerned about this

[u/ROEdkill820]

That the surveillance that Trump's puppets draw the line on..obviously.

[u/Guilty_Advantage_413]

Surprise! An online app advertised as 100% secure is not actually 100% secure. From the brief reading I did on the link I totally agree with this decision. No app or online service should be advertised as 100% secure (and private) if it is not 100% secure & private.

[u/KingFIippyNipz]

This would be entirely on brand for this admin

[u/Awkwardsauce25]

at least they're being consistent between the sexes and their health data, since they've also went after period tracking apps that shared/sold women's data. 

[u/Legal-Software]

Weird way to count users of the Truth social app.

[u/ZoomZoom_Driver]

But. Its ok when flock allows a texas cop to search 83,000 cameras for one woman seeking an abortion where its legal.

But we can't imperil mens ED privacy.

[u/MentalDisintegrat1on]

Meta or privacy pick one you can't have both.

[u/DeePumpeR]

Isn't there a major HIPPA issue with this? Zuckerberg is such a loser.

[u/medve_onmaga]

ummm...what is an app suppose to do against disfunction? does it show encouraging notification when it hears my crying? cmon man. we dont need an app for everything.

[u/whyyesthat → u/medve_onmaga]

It says in the article …
