@samhsagov and @vibrantforall are you aware that your top-recommended online therapy resource @betterhelp was just fined $7.8M by the @FTC? @BrendanCarrFCC Here's #988Lifeline's resources page linking to top 10 online services, page earns commissions (!) 988lifeline.org/help-yourself/

3/ FTC's release on Betterhelp.
ftc.gov/news-events/ne… So maybe Betterhelp made a correction I don't know, but I guarantee at least some on the rest of that list have serious data concerns. Who actually cares about this at SAMHSA?

Data harvest ex - 7 cups Terms: "We may de-identify your Personal Information, in compliance with applicable law and aggregate such de-identified data with the de-identified data of other users.Such anonymized, aggregated data is no longer considered Personal Information..."

This is how our US systems of care capitalize on persons in crisis or seeking help. Remember this is a top 10 referral for online therapy coming from #988Lifeline, US fed agency SAMHSA, and--the recipient of $100M + in tax dollar funding: #VibrantEmotionalHealth.
@samhsagov @vibrantforall @betterhelp @FTC @BrendanCarrFCC I'm confused why Vibrant "liked" this tweet. I'm trying to point out an exploitative resource linked from its services. I'd like that resource removed, please.
