Speaking of cybersecurity and shady marketing tactics: that website offers a "free depression test," but when you fill out the survey, they tell you that you have to give them your email address to see the results. Meaning that the test results are sent over unencrypted email.
- jimkleiber 5y agoI think at some level, if strong security / end-to-end encryption is not seamlessly baked into the products we already use, things like this may keep happening. I don't know too many emotional health professionals who are also very knowledgeable in cybersecurity, so people may just use the defaults. Which is why I like Signal and WhatsApp (to some extent) for doing it behind the scenes. I'm willing to bet most people have no idea how public email tends to be.
