    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.

      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.

        They could just work that into the cost of service. So you make an appointment and it costs whatever amount it costs. And that cost also includes the mailing to you of a Faraday bag.

      In fact customer faraday cage are not protecting us, the only option would be to block waves from the very low to the very high, in other words, military grade. Good luck.

    Conservatives have already said that they want to inspect children’s genitals, so it’s only a matter of time until they start saying that they want to regularly inspect women’s genitals as well to “protect unborn children” (read: control women and fulfill their sick fetish)

    What we need is a phone mode that disconnects from the cell network periodically when not in use, then bounces back up to check for notifications. Obviously this mode wouldn’t be good for people who need to be available by phone, but who calls nowadays? ;)

    Well it’s time for everyone to do their civic duty and drive by an abortion clinic once or twice a month and sit in the parking lot for 5 or 10mins to fuck up their data.
