But #BetterHelp presented itself as complying with healthcare rules.<br/><br/>They used language that made it sound like they were #HIPAA compliant.<br/><br/>They specifically deceived me into giving them information that I wouldn&#39;t have if they had not presented themselves as being a healthcare organization. <br/><br/>The penalty for this should be the complete dissolution of BetterHelp. 2024-07-02T14:40:39Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd54s93962k549wfenaf7udvwnucutjstkhuhle7av8ja6905qtwczyztd0rrwvawqhtrkhryrckxwszt46gmc2aygqwsctmgsta7tq04nywqalnr I&#39;ve been getting emails about an #FTC #settlement with #BetterHelp: <br/><br/>&#34;The FTC says that BetterHelp promised to keep users’ information private but revealed data to Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Criteo for advertising purposes.
