Wade overturn destroyed 50 years of progress in women’s rights to privacy and the ability to choose for themselves.According to the data collected by the Atlas VPN team, apps dedicated to women’s health, like pregnancy or period trackers, heavily collect sensitive data and share it with third parties.After the Supreme Court in the US overturned Roe v. Wade, information gathered from these apps could be used as evidence for getting an abortion.A few most popular women’s health apps stand out when looking at trackers.
