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.

    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?

          There is a setting that says port forwarding in the desktop and Android apps but I’ve never used it. If it helps, I did turn it on once to see what it was and it picks a port for you which afaik can be important.
