>Also, wasn't there a recent problem in USA where women were uninstalling period tracking software, because it could report someone as pregnant for having irregular period? I know at least 4 causes for missed period, do judges know that much?

There was a celebrity infidelity scandal in Japan where such app was allegedly involved too.

Here in the USA it’s more like Texas will buy that data for TX residents and add their license plate number to a scanner for anyone trying to leave the state. Think that won’t happen? Private enterprises can get that data too, with an incentive of $10k per forced-pregnancy pop.
