      Where was the FTC action when it was revealed that period apps were selling user data? Does the FTC not care about 2nd class citizens? (Sarcasm and rhetorical if it wasn’t clear)

      Edit: Turns out they did, good.

          Where was the FTC action when it was revealed that period apps were selling user data?

          It was here -> https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/cases-proceedings/192-3133-flo-health-inc

          And here -> https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2021/06/ftc-finalizes-order-flo-health-fertility-tracking-app-shared-sensitive-health-data-facebook-google

          I know you’re being rhetorical, but your post could easily leave people with the impression that the FTC did NOT go after those apps too, when ofc they did. There were financial settlements, there were requirements to obtain affirmative consent, there were prohibitions on prior behaviors.

              I actually did not know this. Sincerely, thank you for sharing.

                  YW! We’re in an info-overload world, so it’s just inevitable to miss things. Esp if they don’t get lots of headline time. Or get amplified on social media.

                      No worries. Happens.

                      I agree with the general sentiment of your post BTW.

                    Are there even any women left in the administration? Or is now 100% old men who need viagra?

                        that’s why they’re worried. Someone pointed out that they’re surveilling most of Capitol Hill

                          Don’t forget the young’uns at DOGE. They wouldn’t use something so lame & gay like Viagra. They only use Swedish-made penis enlarger pumps.
