A women’s health app recently tried to capitalize on the Roe decision by claiming they keep data private. I read through their privacy policy, and sure enough they allow themselves several liberties including using data for “research.”
Amusingly, I caught “[INSERT COMPANY]” in their privacy policy. Apparently they haven’t even read their own policy! It was quite long —there should be an Internet law that the longer the privacy policy, the more likely your data is being abused.

- sbierwagen 4y agoMy interpretation of that sentence was that it was the string literal “[INSERT COMPANY]”. A company name placeholder that hadn't been replaced.

- guerrilla 4y agoYeah we got that but we need to know who the company is anyway.
