I hate this. So wrong 😔
@Minholkin exactly
services like that shouldn't be using trackers of any kind
@Minholkin I don't if you'll remember but a few years back I was taking part in a drug survey thingy they said it was all private and anonymous BUT I found they had a Facebook button on the actual survey pages and notified the top guy and he was shocked that the button being there meant Facebook could track folk taking part
sometimes these services don't realise there are trackers I don't which is worse knowing or not
I remember but I didn’t recall the FB button portion of the story ☹️
Most folks in that field aren’t really tech savvy, it seems
@ecksmc
I think mental health care is sacred and folks looking to those sources are doing so bc of need…such a violation 😔
