The news article reads and is attached to the post as follows: Because of a settlement between the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and BetterHelp, you are entitled to a refund. BetterHelp agreed to pay $7.8 million to settle charges brought by the FTC. BetterHelp offers online counseling through several websites, including: BetterHelp, MyTherapist, Teen Counseling, Faithful Counseling, Pride Counseling, Regain, Terappeuta etc. The FTC says that BetterHelp promised to keep users' information private but revealed data to Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Criteo for advertising purposes. This data included email addresses, IP addresses, and personal answers to health questions. Our records show that you paid for services from a BetterHelp website and are entitled to a refund
