    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.

        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.
