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

Probably because 99%of politicians are geriatric men.

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

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.

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

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