“tracking women’s menstrual cycles is fine, but I draw the line at tracking men’s broken penises!” - someone at the FTC, apparently.

Meta really said equality means mining everyone’s medical data equally.



Lmao the party of family values is obsessed with the people’s genitalia; you just can’t make this shit up!!


What the hell does such an app do? Note all the times where I failed to get it up? Give me tips on how to deal with it? Show me pics of erect dingdongs to shame mine into compliance?

There really is an app for every shit there ever was…

Erectile dysfunction apps? Like porn or a WiFi penis pump?


Every app is used for surveillance, otherwise it would be a website.


Of course, they care about surveillance of men, but women cannot get healthcare without fear of being thrown in jail.


In a good faith system these apps, the period tracking apps, any of this stuff would be great tools for the average person. We arent in a good faith system. People need to be keenly aware that you absolutely cannot trust who is going to access this information because the people legislating that access are oblivious or compromised and the punishments barely register because it’s usually just a fine that gets baked into cost of business.

I recommend downloading a period tracking app and using it to keep track of HVAC air filter changes in your home. Because making junk data is fun.



“If it’s free, then YOU are the product”


Why you need an app to tell you your dick doesn’t work? Useless


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.



I was unaware. Thank you.

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.


The lush is about to get fired, it’ll be one less then




of course meta is spying on everyones pussies and dicks.

Definitely not beating the allegations.



Wtf is an ED app supposed to do/accomplish? Stretch and exercise reminder? Renew prescriptions?



Its a problem when it affects men but not women


Period tracking apps however…


What do these apps even do other than sell your data?


Of course they are interested now, when it affects a white man…


Erectile dysfunction apps?


Women and their period apps… no pob…but the limp dick app… now the world is ending. The phone and all that it represents makes your dick soft and makes your world shit. We are just over socialised edward bernays turdherd babies…. No Phone
