    Thus, for the time being, if you’re in the US or some other nation that has issues with women’s health, do not take your phone to the abortion clinic with you, or turn it off and stuff it in a Faraday cage until you’re at least a block away.

      That’s not enough, a better idea is to, somehow, poison the location data. Otherwise by disabling location tracking you still leak the information that you are going to a clinic.

      Maybe clinics should start mailing out Faraday pouches ahead of appointments?

      I’m sure they don’t need the extra expense but this is fucked up.
