The nefarious use of the data would be to track and convict women who “may” have had abortions dude… Combined with telemetry data of when you may have had to travel to a blue state for a day or two and it’s not a difficult pattern to spot
Has this ever happened and led to a conviction? Seems far-fetched to me but I am privileged in many ways. I’m sorry that this is even a possibility in some places.
The flo app apparently shared data with Facebook. Besides that, there already have been multiple cases where police used Flock cameras for abortion investigations, so this really isn’t that far fetched.
