    Sorry, I should have elaborated.

    The laws are strict and would hold doctors liable in some places. There was an instance where a woman needed some pain killer but the doctor wouldn’t prescribe it because it could cause the termination of a fetus.

    When the lady told the doctor she wasn’t pregnant, he told her that she could become pregnant.

    I know that’s an extreme example, but it is an example.

    Another is that abortions in the case of rape might be illegal in some places and traveling out of state to a place where about is legal is also illegal.

    It’s also illegal in some places to knowing help a person get to a place where it’s legal to get an abortion.

    I’m not in expert in the subject, and the law varies by state so it gets confusing.

    My wife and I do not live in the US and don’t plan to return, so we have not followed it closely.

    Oh, I think there was also an issue of cops or the government possibly buying the data from period tracking apps, but I’m not sure about that.





  • This one needs to be illegal.

    Apps that you need push notifications turned on for, but also serve ads.

    For example, where I live the company that does riding sharing also does all kinds of deliveries. I get notifications about all kinds of restaurant deals.

    The version of Amazon we have sends all kinds of unwanted messages from sellers if you add an item from their shop to your cart. It can be turned off, but it needs to be done one by one manually.

    Even the mobile wallet apps that we use here send all kinds of ads.

    Like, I need notifications about payments and that is it. Stop giving me full screen popup ads each time I open the app to make a payment. It just slows me down and frustrates me.
