   Privacy is dead, and all of your data, including medical information, is constantly being sold to the highest bidder. This is a terrible situation, and there should be strict regulations for those who are breaking the law. Source https://www.threads.net/@thebrianpenny/post/C6y2ckfxaDj/

     @nixCraft This is exactly what gives me pause on trying out Zocdoc (which sponsors a ton of podcasts I listen to).

     I used BetterHelp, and it did help.

     They did a lot to make it accessible to me when times were not so great. I was convinced they believed in their mission of making mental health care more accessible.

     Then I read about this case. I was really disappointed in them. I will never used them again.

     Silicon Valley needs to stop calling people "users". Maybe if they did they would learn basic respect for other human beings.

     @nixCraft UC health used a 3rd party to keep our medical records n it was hacked in March 2024. All of our private data just "poof" stolen. Also wasn't able to use their pharmacy for new prescriptions bc of back log on cleaning up the mess. #medicalinsurance #databreach

     @nixCraft @BenjaminHCCarr reminder that BetterHelp also does not pay well their staff, mainly - the therapists - who they treat just like a commodity. So don't use them. Find a physical person to go to. Everyone will win.

     @nixCraft
     It's the main reason I wouldn't use one of these services even if I felt I needed to. Sooner or later it will transpire that not only patient information was leaked, recordings of actual sessions were leaked out somehow subpoenaed away from those services into the hands of the government.

     Even if I could sign up and pay anonymously they would still have enough audio or video material to identify me.
