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.
poison the location data i.e. leaving it at home?
Or you can disable it from time to time at random when you’re doing something innocuous, and obscure the pattern that way. Which is probably easier for the average person than figuring out a second method of tampering with their phone.
You can’t, even when you disable location it still keeps track of where you are with cell towers and some GPS. It just doesn’t tell you that it still is collecting data.
I didn’t mean disable it in software, I meant physically disable it by stuffing the phone in a Faraday cage (you can buy them for phones in the form of pouches with metal worked into them), which blocks electromagnetic radiation and therefore prevents the phone from contacting towers or satellites.
Leave your phone at home sometimes, and when you need the abortion, just do that!
As in, every time you go on a walk, leave your phone at home, and then they lack of data will just be normal.
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? ;)

Until you get pulled over for those plate covers.

Regardless, it is illegal in most (all?) states to obscure your plate in any way, and they can ticket you if they feel like it. It’s a “reason” to pull you over… sounds like you just got pulled over by someone who wasn’t an asshole.
I don’t know how the laws work regarding this outside the states though.

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.
