Tech Journalists Are Losing Their Minds Over Period-Tracking App Conspiracies—Here’s The Truth Behind These Concerns
In an information age, we’ve never been more privileged to have groundbreaking research right at our fingertips, composed and disseminated by dedicated journalists and media corporations. Or so we might think.
If the last five years have taught us anything, it’s that we really can’t trust these organizations not to have their own interests at the forefront of their media. Take our own publication, for example. An entire year before the mainstream media decided it was acceptable to cover the harsh side effects many women were suffering due to the Covid vaccine, we broke the story. And for our trouble, we were branded conspiracy theorists and dangerous agents of misinformation. Cut to 12 months later, and larger institutions and bastions of the corporate media were suddenly deciding it was acceptable to propagate the research we investigated a year before.
