VANCOUVER - A British Columbia Supreme Court judge says a class-action lawsuit can move forward over alleged privacy breaches against a company that made an app to track users' menstrual and fertility cycles. The ruling published online Friday says the action against Flo Health Inc. alleges the company shared users' highly personal health information with third-parties, including Facebook, Google and other companies.

I mean cloud apps are popular because they are convenient. It's just a shame that they are invariably infested with toxic capitalism. And now apparently Christian fascists.

Thanks! Was looking for something more privacy focused. I had not found this one.
