The new feature, which was fast-tracked after Roe v. Wade was overturned, unlinks users' personal information from their health data.

Great idea. Because while Flo’s Anonymous Mode is a step in the right direction, the company has, very recently, come under fire for privacy violations. In 2021, the Federal Trade Commissionthat Flo shared users’ data with third-party analytics companies like Google and Facebook. Flo settled with the FTC and denied any wrongdoing, but agreed to notify any users whose information was disclosed. They also must notify any third parties that received the information to destroy it.

Flo, which boasts 200 million downloads and 48 million active users, doesn’t share or sell user data,aggregated and anonymous data to research institutes and universities. Their decision to prioritize users’ safety concerns will hopefully influence other companies to follow suit.

This position essentializes women by suggesting their value is centered around motherhood. It also uses pseudo-feminist claims to detract from the very real dangers a post-Roe landscape presents for people and the myriad ways abortion access has helped advance gender equality in the U.S. in the last five decades.
