Today on the show, Matt Stoller and David Dayen are joined by Linda Michaels, a psychologist and co-founder of the Psychotherapy Action Network, to discuss all the creepy ways technology companies are weaseling themselves into your therapist’s office. From matching services like BetterHelp, to PMC middlemen, and potentially dangerous therapy chatbots, Big Tech wants to both exploit your therapist (and you) by using your private data for advertising and AI training. They also discuss the business of psychology, and the progress that has been made in states like Illinois, which could serve as a model for the nation.
