For a nice smart genuine guy, I really don’t understand why he keeps promoting betterhelp to his audience lately on YouTube. His latest Ytube video is once again sponsored by betterhelp. I understand he needs to make money, but at least be intensional with his brand deals and dont put his audience in harms way with such a company. And of course the videos theme is a mental health issue when he is promoting this company. I am disappointed.
FTC to Ban BetterHelp from Revealing Consumers’ Data, Including Sensitive Mental Health Information, to Facebook and Others for Targeted Advertising
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) proposed action against the online therapy service BetterHelp, Inc. for mishandling consumers' private health information, particularly regarding mental health issues, and using it for advertisement purposes in 2023. This landmark decision surrounding the recent BetterHelp controversy requires the company to compensate affected consumers with $7.8 million and prohibits the company from sharing sensitive data with third parties for ad retargeting. This initiative marks the first time the FTC has provided restitution to consumers for the breach of their health data privacy.
