So for the third time: that sounds like the same thing other apps are doing.

You know what, forget about it. I’m not going in circles with a halfwit anymore.

they still ran foul of laws that cannot be waived by any sort of TOU/EULA agreement.

    You’re making an assumption that’s not correct.
    
    Multiple apps can have the same legal problem, but the government/lawsuit only goes after one app at a time, the low-hanging fruit first.
    
    As far as what’s being done illegally, to cause the lawsuit…
    
    The lawsuit alleges that Flo Health misused users’ personal information “for its own financial gain,” claiming breach of privacy, breach of confidence and “intrusion upon seclusion.”
