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.

    Every corporation registered under the US law is subject to the US law.

    If you relying on a corpo to protect your data… 🤡

      Biowink GmbH is probably not a corporation registered under US law. If I had to guess, the government of Germany will not be particularly eager to force them to turn over data to the USA. The Germans take their Datenschutz very seriously.

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

      No I’m relying on people to protect their own data, I’m saying that platforms should too. Edit: also most of the time they don’t have to turn over anything but do so willingly, they should say no unless presented with a valid warrant.

        Corpos are unreliable but yes they should at least pretend not to turn it over.

        Unless corpo is using zero knowledge set up, don’t use it is the really the only way to use a corpo service imho

          Yeah I think PIA is a golden example here. They’ve got RAM-only servers so they have no data to turn over in the first place.

            Pia the third vendor along with proton and mullvad that are considered gold standard?

            Does it have it port-forwarding?
