> This is one of the most egregious abuses of privacy imagineable.
For people who haven't used these kinds of apps, Flo includes day-by-day tracking of:
- sex and sex drive
- didn't have sex
- protected sex
- unprotected sex
- high sex drive
- masturbation
- mood:
- calm
- happy
- [...]
- sad
- depressed
- obsessive thoughts
- apathetic
- very self-critical
- symptoms (cramps, tender breasts, acne, many more)
- vaginal discharge (none, spotting, sticky, eggwhite, etc, "unusual")
- other (travel, stress, disease/injury, alcohol)
There's a ridiculous amount of potential here for just purely creepy oversharing of information that a woman might presume is safe to enter into an app.
There's also a lot of things here that are maybe legally dangerous to be disclosing outside of a doctor-patient context (the last several "mood" items).
This is abhorrent.
