AG Letitia James wins $740,000 settlement from online mental health provider Cerebral::Letitia James announced that her office obtained a settlement from an online mental health provider with a complicated cancellation process.
There goes the budget for mints at the reception desk.
Take as many as you like
[Stows away everything in man purse]
Lol
wow $33 for your troubles
Does that mean the service will be worse going forward. Potentially endangering lives
Anyone with difficult to cancel services is trying to scam all customers eventually, like a bad gym or satellite radio. If they have to legally change their service structure, that sounds like an improvement.
Ah yes… Making the cancellation process easier for consumers means it must inherently become a worse service.
No I really think the person you are replying to means that because they will need to pay this settlement, then the company will have less money to provide the service hence endangering lives…like somehow it’s this person’s fault…
Won’t anyone think of the corporations! /s
Those boots must be real tasty.
What boots. Care to elaborate your very punchy response
If by “the service”, you mean “online mental health providers”, then no, the service will not get worse. Patients will be fine.
If by “the service”, you mean “Cerebral’s health services”, then yes. They can collapse for all I care.
As in with the settlement they pay out. They would have less money and can’t staff as well. Was my point.
Kinda cunty on this aye
That money was ill gained. The court applied laws. That money is not theirs now. What kind of hellscape are you advocating?
If they choose to take the money away from the services budget instead of CEO pay, then that’s on them.
True. Suppose they could do that. They won’t but sure
And I hope that gives the ethical competitors a foothold in their ass.
What’s ethical in corporate America

What a weird take. The company was breaking NY law by making cancellation of their service nearly impossible and faking reviews. This settlement forces them to refund people they defrauded and follow the law.
Are you saying healtchare businesses should be exempt from laws because “service will be worse” if they follow them?
Why would letting people cancel a subscription service easily “potentially endanger lives?”
No. I never once said or insinuated that
I’d insert some quote about fear here, but I don’t know a good one off-hand. In any case, I don’t believe it to be a good excuse.
Can you elaborate a bit ?
It’s not a good excuse. Was just a question
You didn’t ask a question. You made two statements implying that holding this company accountable for illegal actions, robbing people of money, is harmful.
Go fuck yourself.
Kool
No fuck you. Do you work in mental health. ? No. Then fuck off.
Do you have people killing themselves on the other fucking line ? No
Fuck off
I do not condone corporations, I do when loves are put at risk. That I then have to deal with.

I wasn’t advocating for the service. I asked who this service put peoples lives at risk. I condone all that you mentioned. It’s obviously a terrible service. However if it kept people alive then the food outweighed the bad.
These comments these people don’t understand mental health. Or maybe they do. Who’s to say. I contract for mental health charity. Do t even get minimum wage. We aren’t fully trained and have 1 phone line.
Yet I’ve talked down dozens of people in crisis and one on a roof. Service doesn’t charge and it’s not this corporate bullshit.
Fuck the CEO and the practice. However if it kept one person all be who otherwise would have died. ? In the any case. Fuck y’all.
See you next year
I contract for mental health charity. Do t even get minimum wage. We aren’t fully trained and have 1 phone line.
That is obscene; people in crisis deserve so much more. THANK YOU for doing what you do. I hope your goodness to others in need finds its way back to you, multiplied, and that your new year gives you all that you have hoped for it.
Was just a question
The useful idiot’s rallying cry!
You are a dick.
It’s not meant as an insult. It’s an intelligence term of art.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot
But yes, I also think you are a plain old regular idiot too.
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
A useful idiot is a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause—particularly a bad cause originating from a devious, ruthless source—without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically being used by the cause's leaders. Erroneously attributed to Vladimir Lenin, the term was often used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and psychological manipulation. Similar terms also exist in other languages.
No, it wasn’t, and you know it. It’s very transparent.
No
Do you have a better way?
