Digital apps are being used to undermine women's human rights
If you have a mobile phone and use a handful of apps, he’s watching everywhere you go, and everything you do. Do you have anything to hide? If not now, might you have something to hide in future?
However, I’m sure I would feel quite differently about how the algorithms operate if a notification popped up to ask “Thinking of having an abortion?” The problems only mount up from there. Use a conventional search engine to find a clinic, and that search is logged. Phone or email to make an appointment, and that is logged too. Use a digital map to get there – logged. Use a credit or debit card to pay – logged. Text a friend for moral support – logged. Suddenly, all of the technology that has been making modern women’s lives easier – and often safer – takes on a sinister dimension.
