Period tracking app refuses to disclose data to American authorities

Fwiw, this article says the name of the app is Clue. As a dude, I have no need of such an app, but as a security minded individual, will encourage my female friends to use it if needed and hope the developers continue to have security in mind.
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has blocked a bill in the state that would have banned law enforcement from enforcing search warrants for menstrual data stored in tracking apps on mobile phones or other electronic devices,
And as a Virginian, I will once again vote against the enemy of security and privacy: Glenn Youngkin.
There are foss offline period tracking apps you can reccommend instead. Best if they just don't have the data at all
Add Periodical to the list. Data stored locally, and you can export it and transfer it to your new device in a .json file.
Time to start self hosting these for my friends
No self hosting needed! As I mentioned, these apps are fully offline - all data is stored on-device
Be careful with that, it could make you a target for a visit
This reminds me: In countries like Russia and China, it's not unusual for police to just randomly stop people and search their phones, at which point even locally stored data isn't safe anymore. This could happen in America as well.
I am disgusted that such a person would share the same name as me.
Youngkin can't run for reelection next year.
