She confessed her worries to her therapist: her marriage, her finances, and self-esteem. Therapists are legally and ethically bound to confidentiality, but two years later, a transcript of every word typed to her psychologist using the app Talkspace was produced in court by her former employer.

Huh? That's all why we're here across the Lemmyverse, no? We are already smarter than the average person over privacy concerns, sure, but that doesn't make them "dumb." I think it's really unfair to look down on the average citizen versus highly specialized, predatory algos and deceptive services. Or do you think you're scam-proof and everyone who is less has only themselves to blame? I once thought I was, yet have had some near-wakeup calls.
