Reason #1: Last year's $5 Billion FTC settlement with Facebook doesn’t protect privacy of users’ health information https://www.statnews.com/2019/07/31/facebook-ftc-settlement-health-information-privacy/
Reason #2: Anything that you post about your health on Facebook or Twitter can be used to deny you jobs and healthcare. https://www.propublica.org/article/health-insurers-are-vacuuming-up-details-about-you-and-it-could-raise-your-rates
Reason #3: It's not ok to use a fertility or period tracker to have that data shared with your boss. https://www.glamour.com/story/your-pregnancy-app-may-be-selling-your-datato-your-boss
Reason #5: Scraping health data from a platform like Facebook is a major security issue for every single one of us.
