The team behind menstrual health and period tracking app Clue has said it will not disclose users' data to American authorities, following Donald Trump's reelection.

The message comes in response to concerns that during Trump's second presidency, abortion bans that followed the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022 will worsen and states will attempt to increase menstrual surveillance in order to further restrict access to terminations.

Not a choice they can make, if they have the data then the government can compel them to turn it over

I don't know much about menstrual cycles. Wouldn't it be easier and just as effective to track with pen and paper?
