Mozilla’s Annual Consumer Creep-O-Meter distills what’s good, what’s bad, and what’s just plain creepy in the world of consumer tech.

Includes 'big picture trends', 'best and worst products', and 'numbers'

BetterHelp is probably still violating US federal medical-privacy law.

BetterHelp has partnered with the Israel government

I offer no commentary on the war but that's pretty... weird..

Don't worry, if you're an Israeli citizen and you told your therapist at BetterHelp that you might not support the government they'll kindly inform the government to help make you understand that what they're doing right now is for the best of you.

FTC to Ban BetterHelp from Revealing Consumers’ Data, Including Sensitive Mental Health Information, to Facebook and Others for Targeted Advertising

I've also heard that the therapy they provide is mediocre, from friends more involved with mental health stuff

NASCAR drivers don't drive for Uber.

Why would top-notch therapists side-hussle for Better help? It's the Cameo of mental health
