“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.”

    The irony is that the company uses data from Crisis Text Line to make their customer support more “empathetic”.

    And when you drill down to their so called value proposition, it is apparently to help human empathy scale. That word scale lies at the heart of almost all immoral business practices. It is a alter for “how do we spend as little input as possible to get as much as possible”.

          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.
