@divya@sfba.social Thank you! I found through the article that #Seattle's Dept of Education and Early Learning (DEEL) has been pushing Talkspace as a free therapy service for kids. I sent a letter to my council members.

@divya@sfba.social I am so confused. They insist they don't violate hippo, but somehow provide a persons chat logs in a trial? How is that not a hipa violation right there? Maybe I just don't understand hippo from a legal perspective?

@divya@sfba.social so your data is anonymous and HIPAA compliant unless your employer requests it in a legal proceeding and then it is public record? Eww.

@divya@sfba.social I think the big headline here is: The end goal: training a soon-to-be-released AI therapy companion bot, according to reports the company released to investors. FUCKING INTENTIONAL AI THERAPY BOT (Well and also the HIPAA violation)

@divya@sfba.social and this will ensure that even more of us never consult with therapists, ever. Huge damage.

@divya@sfba.social The Internet was one of the great inventions of all time. Until it destroyed Civilization. Someday, perhaps, an intelligent species will evolve to replace Homo sapiens, and then maybe an Internet will be a good thing. Now, we are stuck with it, but we need to use it smartly. If you are gay, or black, or female, or sick, or thoughtful, or honest, or in any way different from the bottom 32%, DO NOT SEND ANY INFO TO AN INTERNET ENTITY IF A HATEFUL BASTARD COULD USE IT AGAINST YOU.
