Suicide hotline shares data with for-profit spinoff, raising ethical questions
www.politico.comThe Crisis Text Line’s AI-driven chat service has gathered troves of data from its conversations with people suffering life’s toughest situations.
“These are people at their worst moments. Using that data to help other people is one thing, but commercializing it just seems like a real ethical line for a nonprofit to cross.”
Jennifer King, privacy and data policy fellow at Stanford University

don’t hate the whole world. Just hate the current form of disaster capitalism.
I should but I feel like this will never end.
The Roman Empire also thought it would be eternal 😉
So did the Nazis, so do the USA, China and Russia today.
If you believe in yourself, you can do anything. Including overthrowing the system.
it probably won’t. You only have one life, live it to your fullest, don’t let bullshit like this make your day worse. You can fight the battles you can win and accept that there are battles you can’t fight because you’d burn out.
